The Benefits of Goat Milk are Astounding. Truly.
And isn’t it amazing that goat milk is the most widely drank milk in the world? A weird thought for most Americans.
It was a fun experience to watch as my 5-year-old cousin slowly “got it” and drank her first glass of goat milk.
She first slowly realized that my baby girl was drinking my milk, instead of formula from a bottle. And then as she watched and ask many questions, the light clicked on and she understood that milk from the store was from an animal. And finally, when asked if she wanted a glass of milk, her first response was, “But…it’s from the goats!” And now she is hooked. 🙂
