The workshop will be this  Saturday, January 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the basement of the United Methodist Church at 202 South Winter Street in Yellow Springs.
Three local goat farmers, Caroline Mullin, Jill Dant and Owen Betts, will teach the basics of what is involved in raising goats, including care and feeding, meat and dairy breeds, and more.
