They did apprenticeships with veteran goat farmers and prize- winning cheesemakers in the Pacific Northwest. Bought the best Nubian and Alpine goats they could find. Consulted with experts about the fine points of pasteurizing, vat construction, bacteria- resistant air-handling systems and custom-designed milking parlors.
