ELDERSBURG, Md. — When she began to raise goats to sell 15 years ago, Pam Adams used to get one or two calls a month. Today, she gets at least three calls a week.
The demand for goat meat is strong, said Adams, president of the Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia Meat Goat Producers Association.
More people are interested in healthy eating, and goat meat offers a healthy alternative to beef, pork or chicken, said Adams, who has 70 goats on six acres on her Bridgestone Manor Farm in Carroll County.
"We have quite a few goat producers and quite a few people come into Frederick County from D.C. and the Chambersburg, Pa., area to buy goats," Adams said.
