ORONO– A new statewide directory of farmers who raise and sell goats for slaughter is available from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, Cumberland County office.
The Maine Goat Meat Directory includes names, contact information, types of goats and availability of on-farm slaughter service. There are 54 farmers listed in most Maine counties.
Extension educator Richard Brzozowski is also working with farmers to produce a fall census of sheep and goats in the state. “The purpose is to monitor growth of these expanding farming enterprises,” says Brzozowski.
A copy of the seven-page directory is available from Julie Anderson at 207-780-4205 or 1-800-287-1471 (in Maine), janderson@umext.maine.edu.
