An Evacuation Can’t Be All Bad When You Have Goats

Angeles Crest Creamery is a goat ranch in the San Gabriel Mountains, developing a low-input and climate-change-resilient model for meat & dairy in Southern California, and providing educational opportunities for Angelinos interested in learning more about how food can be produced regeneratively in our local mountains. Our work is funded by our agritourism business. ~ Angeles Crest Creamery

Think of this post as a human interest story about a plucky little goat ranch caught in the crosshairs of the #BobcatFire. Located in the Antelope Valley where the worst of the Bobcat fire is burning, the Angeles Crest Creamery posted a series of tweets over a two day period that were so heartfelt and poignant, I just had to share their evacuation story. They do such wonderful work, this story really tugged at my heart stings. Will keep a watch on their situation as it unfolds, but in the meantime, if you feel like giving them a little love and support during this difficult time, please visit them on Twitter, or leave a comment on their website. I'm sure they would appreciate it!

where it's actually getting some traction. If you have a twitter account, log on and re-tweet this post so we can give C99 some exposure.

Glad you enjoyed. I was getting a little weary posting stories of all the terrible stuff. Thought I'd switch gears a little.

to evacuate! glad it's not so. we were Forced to Evacuate in 2017 (?), and far earlier than was necessary, as i could see the advance of the fire from the window to the left of where my laptops sits. (we fondly call it 'my desk', but it's one quarter of our ding room table.)

our hogan survived, webber mountain to the east of us...did not. our garden did not, either, save for a few deep-rooted perennials.
