Aha! At last I've tracked down where I'm supposed to be  I already sent the following message once, but it turned up on a Birthday forum somehow (still figuring out how to do this right) so I'm reposting it here. Hope this is the right place this time. Sorry for the lash-up. Jenny already replied re the raw goat milk, so that one may soon be sorted, but if anyone knows the answer to the chicken question, I'd love to see it. Thanks.

. . . Hi--I'm new to this Forum and although I don't live on a farm, have always been a wannabe farmgirl...
We used to keep goats, hens and bees when we lived in England and I really, really want to find somewhere local (I live in Spanish Fork, Utah) where I can buy raw goat milk from pasture fed goats. I make Kefir from raw cow milk and find it too rich and not as digestable as products made from goat milk. We can't keep our own goats at current address.
....Do any of you ever combine to buy poultry and other meats reared without the use of growth hormones, pesticides etc.? I'm buying beef for the freezer in June, through a health food store, but would prefer to go through a co-op of interested families if such a thing is available.
Thanks.
Anne

My husband's mother was an O'Shea. Your books sound like good reads!

Thanks for asking. Sure, here comes a synopsis for the two novels. They are both intrigue with a splash of romance--clean, Christian fiction.
Terracotta Summer takes the O'Shea family from the security of family life in Manchester, England, and, like the seeds of a dandelion blowing in the wind, disperses them to Scotland, Northern Ireland and across the Atlantic Ocean. The title, Terracotta, symbolizes both the warm stability of clay pots, and the tenacious instincts of the vibrant Terracotta Rock Rose.
Feisty and beautiful young Ruth O'Shea, a strong-willed survivor, leaves Britain in the hope of turning her life around. The rest of the O'Sheas, including adult nephews, Ken and Patrick, have no idea as to Ruth's whereabouts. They have troubles of their own. Patrick decides not to emigrate to Northern Ireland with his family and begins a downward path that takes him out of his depth. Meanwhile, up in Scotland, his brother Ken faces conflict and trials on a scale he'd never imagined.
Chamomile Winter is the fast moving sequel to Terracotta Summer. The herb known as Chamomile, grown in terracotta pots by Rosie O'Shea, is symbolic of that which is healing. Its delicate appearance hides a steadfast ability to grow despite the odds, and when taken as a tisane, warms, restores, and soothes - a fitting contrast to the chilling image of winter.
In like manner, the O'Shea family is in need of reconciliation. Can they overcome the pressure of alarming circumstances? Find out how trials faced by Patrick, who remained in Manchester in the first volume, continue as he faces more anguish from involvement with the Irish Republican Army. Ken, Patrick's brother, has a new companion on the building site of Southport Chapel, who proves to be even more of a challenge than his Cockney friend in Scotland had been. And when Ruth O'Shea arrives in Southport from America it stirs up a whole new set of complications for Ken.
I have also co-authored a couple of books on writing--the latest came out this April and is called LDStorymakers: Writing Secrets--a super book for all writers written by 12 successful authors in an easy-to-read style that gets those creative juices flowing.
Let me know if anyone's interested in these books. I can let you have Terracotta Summer and Chamomile Winter for half price if you like. Or they can be found in Barnes & Noble (may have to be ordered).
