I am Lindsey. I am an urban farmgirl attempting to balance city and farm life. I am married to the Animal Whisperer, man of exceptional knowledge and patience, I have two boys who are louder than my sister and I ever were, milking goats, egg-laying chickens and bunnies. Coyotes, rattlesnakes, deer, bear, and bobcats are frequent visitors. Just around the corner is the city. The pool. The neighborhood friends. But we…and our farm…are hidden…by the rocks.

I forgot to mention that I too have had many a “contemplating” session while trapped in the barn while milking! Between the mega rains, huge hail, and my fear of being without cover at a high altitude when it’s lightning, I’ve learned to sit patiently until it’s over. It’s a good time to trim feet BTW!
Good idea about their feet!

Does this mean you didn’t get my other post?
Dianne, I received the post about you being stuck in the barn on occasion, but no other post. I’m sorry! Please post it again! I’m smoothing out some of the gliches! BTW, we do have our next cheese making class this Tuesday and still have some openings!

Hello Lindsey! Saw your class on craigslist and was intrigued as I too milk and make cheese. I have 3 grandsons who have helped me with that endeavor. The youngest just turned one and has only had goats milk except for his short lived breast feeding time. I was not raised in the country and had to learn a lot the fast and hard way! I moved into the country to have a “bigger” garden. HA! I love to garden but somehow haven’t managed to beat the hail we have here. I also raise chickens, turkeys, geese, and guineas. I would love to meet you sometime, but after reading your blog it sounds like your days go like mine! Someday when things are quieter (?) we’ll have to meet and talk cheese and compare notes. Keep up the great work!
Aaaahhh!!!! Just got your first post Dianne! It was in the spam folder…
Sounds like your farm is fun and a lot of work! Keep up the good work with the grandsons! I bet they love going to grandma’s! -Lindsey
Hi Lindsey! My name is Jessica and I have a little ‘hidden’ urban farm on the Westside of Colorado Springs
We have 2 Nigerian Dwarf goats, a heap of chickens, a bunch of bunnies, 2 Pekin Ducks, 3 Chihuahuas, a Pot Bellied Pig, a cat and a tortoise that roam about. Well, the tortoise not so much…but he would if he could. I am interested in trying to get the city ordinances changed to allow for more food producing animals in the city. I was wondering if you had a zoning variance, or an extremely large lot? Also, it is just nice to see what other urban farm girls are doing 
If you have time please shoot me an email. I would love to take your class and see your farm 
Sincerely,
Jessica
Jessica,
I’m new to this blog business…I responded to you about a week ago, but it appears it didn’t work! Here goes attempt #2:
It is great to hear from you! We have another class coming up this Tuesday at 8:15 – 12:30. I’m glad to know there’s another “farmer” on this side of town!

I’d LOVE to attend your $75 goat-cheese-making workshop ( as advertised on craigslist) but now is Not a good time for me – I’m moving)
Please keep my email & let me know when the next session is…I love goats ( parents had Tennessee stiff-legged goats in Texas) and I’ve been trying to figure out how to “farm” in an urban setting…always figured it would be easier to do on the West side of town!)
Blessed Be,
Linda
Thanks Linda! I’ll keep your email and let you know when our next class is! Lindsey
