About this Event

Dive into the remarkable world of goats with Tami Parr-- from yoga to milk, uncover the truth behind these often overlooked animals!


Why and how did goats become popular in the US-seemingly for every purpose except meat, their primary role in many other cultures? This is the question Tami Parr sets out to answer in Goats in America. Parr traces the goat's history in the United States: as a (losing) competitor to the cow meat and dairy industry; an alternative food and milk source in wartime; a herd animal for a variety of Indigenous, immigrant, and back-to-the-land communities; and a rising presence in both urban gardens and social media feeds. Ultimately, the story of goats in America is a story of America: of race and ethnicity, immigration and assimilation, class, media, politics, and the environment.


Tami Parr is a developmental editor and author of Artisan Cheese of the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Northwest Cheese: A History (OSU Press). Her writing has appeared in The Oregonian, Edible Portland, and Goat Journal. She lives in Portland, Oregon. Check out her instagram @goathistorybook!
