Three Day Full-Immersion Workshops
Scheduling now for Summer/Fall 2010
Be prepared for non-stop learning and participation! This is an in-depth experience into the life of cheesemaking and goat management. There are many diverse activities and it’s all hands on.
Milk the goats and follow that milk all the way to finished, packaged fine cheeses ready to be shipped to distinctive restaurants and gourmet shops around the country. Bottle feed the goat kids and maybe even help deliver some if you're here during kidding season. See how living “off-grid” has it’s benefits and drawbacks. Live a homesteader's dream.
We start at 6:30 AM with chores and milking the goats, the work day ends about 12 hours later after evening milking. Full use of the bunkhouse, plus all meals, featuring Goat Cheese and other ranch grown products, are included in the package.
Here's a link to a detailed look at a typical 3-day cheese-making workshop.
The Three-Day Workshop Package is $1000 per person, minimum of 2 people (adults only). The price includes three very full days of ranch life, plus three nights in our bunkhouse, and all meals. Details on lodging at BMR are at the bottom of this page.
Here's more information on scheduling your workshop.

A Simple Ranch Retreat
If you're not looking for anything quite as focused, hands-on or intense as one of our workshops but would still like to come to the Ranch for a day or two, enjoy the peace, get away, hang-out, take hikes, (do nothing), read a book, watch sunsets, put your feet up, (do nothing), hunt for petrified wood or ancient pottery shards, play with the animals (do nothing), and eat some great food... we are here for you!
Stay in our Bunkhouse (details below) for $150 per night per person, including meals, and just relax. Occupancy specifics: minimum of 2 people, maximum of 6 people. Adults only, no children permitted for overnight lodging, no pets.
