GHENT, N.Y. â Getting out of bed first thing last Sunday morning to feed a bunch of hungry goats might not sound like a blessing. In Angela Millerâs case, it is.
Everything had been going well in the fall of 2019 â the goat and cow milk cheeses made at Vermontâs Consider Bardwell Farm were winning awards and appearing on the menu of some of Americaâs most celebrated restaurants, among them The French Laundry, Daniel and Blue Hill at Stone Barns â when disaster struck. It wasnât COVID, but a listeria scare.
âIt was from bringing in goat milk from another farm,â Angela explained as she crossed the barnyard of her farm in West Pawlet, Vt. âWe stopped manufacturing and selling anything out of here so that we could trace any of the cheeses that had gone out previously of that kind. It was a voluntary shutdown.â
RACINE â A lady dressed in red. A maid. Screaming. Singing. A man in formal wear sprawled out on the floor, dead.
These were all images and sounds Michael Sorensen, a medium living in Mount Pleasant, said he experienced Saturday night at Social on Sixth, a micro-venue at 324 Sixth St., as a portion of an investigation with Racine Paranormal Investigators.
The inspection was a part of an initiative to find more places in Downtown Racine that may be haunted, so as to prepare to tour groups around during Halloween season.
