SUCCESS TONIGHT!

Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously to allow the keeping of up to 3 miniature goats per household here in the city.

It's now in our hands to make this program a resounding success and make sure our little beasts are good neighbors.

An Urban Goat-Keeping Seminar is in the works...will post details as we have them.
