Goat Profiles
Chicory
Chicory is the low-key queen of the herd. Without horns, she commands respect with benevolence. She is a mild-mannered Nubian and tends to be a bit of a lone ranger when not snuggling with Rou, our beloved guard dog extraordinaire. She currently gives us about a quart of delicious milk a day. She enjoys butt scratches, organic grains, and lazing about in the sunshine. We suspect she is about 5 years old. Does typically live 15-20 years!
Dahlia
Dahlia is a total sweetheart and especially loves being scratched between her horns. She is half Nubian and half Alpine, which shows in her very cute half-floppy ears. She loves eating tulsi flowers and can sometimes be spotted playing with Rou. She was born in the spring of 2020. We plan to find her a suitable stud in the fall of 2021.
Regenerative no-till practices keep soils intact, sequester carbon into soils, and increase important microbiology; cultivating organic vegetables & medicine while solving for some of humanity's greatest threats. Sponsor a garden bed today! We have 5 plots available for sponsorship, and are raising a total of $125k to expand our agricultural operations.
Sponsor a next-generation electric tractor program - clean, quiet, climate-smart, and safe. In partnership with the CARB FARMER Zero Emission research program and Solectrac.
The Mushroom Farm is one of only three farms awarded a grant through CARB’s FARMER Program (Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions). This grant covers 80% of the cost for farmers to replace diesel tractors with a less polluting alternative - Solectrac electric tractors.
This is an amazing opportunity to generate research and data for the FARMER program and support this timely initiative to decarbonize farming. In addition, through our Rhize Nonprofit program, we are offering the EV tractors as a shared resource to our local coastal community of small farmers, in hopes to increase the capacity for regenerative agriculture practices and food redistribution to communities in need.
