1.20.15 Get Your Goat (& a short film by GFL TV)

a short film by gluttonforlife

I'm thrilled to debut a short film we made about goats. I hope it inspires you to learn more about these delightful creatures and to enjoy them in the fields and on your plate—remembering that, if you like goat cheese and goat's milk yogurt, you contribute to a more sustanainable system by eating goat's meat, too.

Here are a few recipes for cooking with goat's milk, cheese and meat:

Cajeta (Goat's Milk Caramel)

Phyllo Triangles with Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese

Birria Jocotepec (Mexican-Style Braised Goat)

Laura, what a fabulous debut! I love that you are introducing GFL TV; you are a natural! This was an inspiring and educational short, beautifully shot. I can't believe how physical cheese making is. I need to get some now! btw, goat milk soap is wonderful, too!

You make a very important point about the relationship between sustainability and eating meat. All dairy products--whether made from cow, goat or sheep milk-- require that female animals are impregnated and give birth. The female babies will grow up to become future milkers, but half of the young who are born will be males. Only very few males are needed to maintain the cycle, and in many cases cows are artificially impregnated. So there are many male animals who are born into the cycle and make essential contributions by providing us indirectly with milk, cheese, and yogurt and directly with meat. Many lacto-ovo vegetarians have romantic notions that by eschewing meat (from dairy animals) they are somehow opting out of a process they consider cruel to animals. When it involves pastured, sustainably raised animals, like those at the farm in your film, the opposite is true. We need to buy and eat the meat that comes from these farms in order to insure their survival. Young goat is really delicious, and anyone who eats lamb would like goat.

Finally had a moment to really sit down and watch this. It's phenomenal Laura! And bravo to G for his work behind the lens. What a dynamic duo. Seems clear that this is what you are destined to do. I don't own a TV but I'll find a way to subscribe to the GFL channel for sure~ Waiting for more...

I used to have a goat years and years ago, unfortunatly the only thing I did with the milk was drink it and make sauces . Now for sure cheese would be my goal. She was a funny pet that would wake me up at first sunlight to be milked and fed. Maybe some where down the road there is another goat for me to enjoy.

ron on January 29, 2015 at 10:27 pm —

Maybe it's time for you to get your goat again!

laura on January 30, 2015 at 8:25 am —

Laura, I agree with some comments: you should have your own TV show. I really enjoyed this short film.

Josee on February 2, 2015 at 5:05 pm —

I just viewed this with one of my little ones. I think by visually seeing happy healthy animals may have an impact on his choice of food. It may click now why I ask so many question when at the farmers market or when dinning out. I will be looking out for their cheese as well as asking my butcher about goat. Happy feasting.

I have had goats nearly my whole life and they never fail to make me smile - people always ask why we have goats and I ask why they don't - as a bonus to the fun of watching them play, ours keep the rocky bank clear ! A lovely film:) A book recomendation - Blessed are the Cheese Makers - Ann
