Three generations of the Berry family live and work on the Banfield & Capevale property in Singleton, NSW.
Alex Berry - dairy goat farmer - tells us how the family previously concentrated on raising and milking dairy cattle, but due to drought water restrictions, they were forced into considering alternatives: the logical solution lay in farming goats for goat's milk as you can have more goats to an acre than cows (7 goats for every one cow), they are a lot cleaner, and utilise less water.
Alex believes more and more people are acquiring a taste for goat's milk and appreciating it's health benefits.
Organic only Anna de Baar has always loved growing things. So after studying Horticulture at Ryde TAFE in NSW, she traded in her suburban Sydney backyard for a farm near Orange.
