🐐 Goats & Feeding Forest
Feeding the goats from the land.
Goats are part of the De Klomp system. But if they depend fully on bought feed, we're still too tied to outside prices. That's why we're building a feeding forest.
Why a feeding forest matters
Fresh fodder from our own land — less dependence on outside prices.
A feeding forest gives the goats fresh, local, renewable fodder from our own land. It can cut feed costs, improve resilience, and turn the land into something that actually supports the animals.
Fodder plants

Tap a plant to learn why we grow it, what it offers the goats, and how we use it here on the homestead.
The cycle
The land grows fodder. The fodder feeds goats. The goats give milk and manure. The manure supports the soil. Better soil grows better plants. Better plants feed the family and the animals.
That's the kind of system we want to build.
