Get your goat (farm)! For $150 and an essay, 85 goats and a dairy could all be yours | General Homesteading Discussion | Forums

Anyone looking to move to Alabama?

Lots of things can get your goat. Fewer things actually give you 85 goats.

But a new competition set up by an Alabama couple is actually designed to do exactly that. Leslie and Paul Spells of Humble Heart Farms have decided to give their mortgage-free farm, all the goats on it, the tools and training to continue their goat cheese business, and $20,000 to put toward startup costs to the winner of an essay contest.

"We are actually really excited about it," Leslie told WAAY-TV. "We're looking forward to seeing the amount of people who would be interested."

All it takes to enter is a $150 entry fee and a 200-word essay that addresses this theme (spelled out in the contest rules): "Why I, or my organization, is the perfect fit to continue the farmstead goat cheese tradition."
