A director of Ontario Goat says the goat milk industry is one of the bright lights of agriculture.
Jason Lyons says producers are having difficulty keeping up with the demand mainly because of the growing popularity of goat cheese.
He says there’s room for new herds and expansion by current producers to meet processors’ needs.
“The demand right now far outweighs the supply. There’s a tremendous demand for good quality breeding animals, to expand herds, start new herds so there’s a lot of work to be done in the industry to develop those resources,” said Lyons in an interview after his presentation at Goat Day at Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week in Elmwood.
