The Farm Report
Vermont Chevon
In this episode of The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks brings in guest Shirley Richardson. Shirley started Vermont Chevon when she saw a window of opportunity to compete with the millions of pounds of goat meat that are imported into the US every year. Erin also speaks with Matt Birong, Chef and owner of the Three Squares Cafe in Vergennes, VT, and the three discuss why Matt has enjoyed using Shirley's goats in his restaurant. This program has been sponsored by Hearst Ranch. Music provided by Idgy Dean.
