Hi! I'm Angela, owner and operator of Wind River Farm in Falun, Kansas. I have a herd of Lamancha dairy goats, and I make the best goat milk soap, goat milk gelato, and goat milk fudge you have ever had, along with lots of other goat milk goodies.
I sell the soap (and other goat milk bath & body products) and the fudge at farmer's markets, but by Kansas law I can only sell my gelato and goat cheese on the farm, because we are not yet a grade A dairy. We're only about 15 minutes outside of town, but it's super difficult to get people to come out to the country to buy their milk, cheese, and ice cream. SO, I am now in my third year of hosting Goat Yoga! It has been a big hit, and on yoga days I set up my market booth on the farm, and I make a lot more dairy sales that way.
This year I am also holding my first "Dairy Fest." It's mainly to showcase the goat milk and goat milk products. People can taste my products, and then buy what they like. Some products I will give the recipes for as well, so people can buy goat milk and take it home to make something themselves. But to make Dairy Fest a big hit we are also having live music, demonstrations, a craft market, pony rides, petting zoo, milk a goat, a food court, and lots of other stuff. I'm super stoked for that.
I am developing my Square website as an information and booking hub for my farm. All my products are listed there and I do ship, so the site is set up for e-commerce, thought that is not my primary focus. I really like Square and use some of the hardware, too, and I'm hoping to get the developers to add a few features that will really benefit my local sales.
I don't have much time, as I'm sure you can guess, for anything except the farm, which I dearly love. But outside of work I enjoy riding and showing horses, and giving riding lessons, which is also work but a hobby, too.

I never thought I'd be a sexy goat lady. And yet, here I am.
