Hani’s goats

Let me briefly introduce you to Hani Khouri.  He is a local cheese maker, goat herder and Mediterranean food producer, his company is called Hani’s Organics and he lives in Redland, FL.  I met him while working at Bee Heaven Farm a couple of years ago when he would come buy ingredients for his tabbouleh and other delicious recipes.  The blog Mango & Lime did a great post about him this past March, check it out.

He has been inviting me to collect goat manure at his place since the first time I mentioned starting my own farm.  A few days ago, I finally took him up on it!  It’s a bit of drive from the garden, but the quality of what I’m getting is worth it, especially if I coordinate a few other essential Homestead stops along the way.  This manure is going to really boost the fertility of the garden.

I wanted to share a few pictures of his Nubian goat herd, they are adorable!

Hani also has a not so adorable pet who likes to sleep all day in front of the door!
