Nettle Meadow goats
No less than 107 baby goats were born within a day near the end of January at Nettle Meadow Farm on South Johnsburg Road. These cute babies had to be bottle-fed for three days, and each little goat ended up with a nickname.
Lorraine Lambiase and Sheila Flanagan run this farm that produces world-famous cheeses and has brought a measure of fame to Thurman.
