WORKSHOP LEADER

Steve Curley

Steve grew up around his grandparents dairy farm in Northern Pennsylvania and has always appreciated the rural lifestyle with all the benefits of farming. As he and his wife Jennifer began raising their family, they were able to move to the country with their own small farm. The Curley family has been raising Nigerian Dairy goats for over ten years on five acres south of Redmond that also sometimes includes hogs, steers, rabbits and chickens.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How should I dress?

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty—you’ll be around live goats, hopefully!

What should I bring?

  • A mobile phone with a data plan for the AI planning tool
  • A notebook (optional) for extra notes.
  • Something to contribute to the potluck and your own mess kit!

What about food?

Nothing makes you hungry like planning your goat journey.  We'll bring the main protein, you bring your mess kit and something to share with your neighbors!

Can minors attend?

This workshop is designed for adults and older teens, but younger children may attend with supervision. Everyone must have their own ticket!

Will there be live goats?

Yes! (If all goes as planned.) This is a great opportunity to interact with goats and observe their behavior up close.
