Learn how to milk goats as the first step towards our Goat Milking Programme!
About this Event

Join us for a couple of hours here at the farm with our goats to learn how to milk them. Bradley will be on hand to talk you through it and answer any questions you may have. This session is the first step towards joining our goat milking programme.

Our goats are milked twice a day at 8am and at 6pm (these times are not flexible to ensure the animals welfare). There are 2 milking slots available in the morning and 2 at 6pm, so 4 milking slots per day. The minimum commitment is one slot per week. Each milking shift takes around 30 to 45 minutes. The goat milking programme cost is £70 per year* which helps us cover the costs of animal feed and care, and the £10 fee for the ticket to this training session will be deducted from the programme cost if you join up.

(*please do get in touch if you are experiencing financial difficulties and wish to join the programme.)

No dogs allowed on the Farm.

Oxford City Farm is a smoke-free site.

How to find the Farm:
