More pictures from Redwood Hill!
Jennifer converted the old creamery into a house when they moved into their new large production facility. You’d never know it used to be a creamery– it’s such a nice house!
Redwood Hill is powered 100% by solar energy! How amazing is that! These panels are next to Jennifer house- they rotate with the sun throughout the day. Redwood Hill’s creamery is also covered in solar panels. Their commitment to renewable energy sources and sustainability is amazing.

Milking time
One of the family dogs waits underneath the milking stands
Two does with milking claws on. (If anyone was wondering, that’s iodine on the stand– it is used to clean and disinfect the udder before and after milking)
The main barn
This lamancha doe kept following me around all day. So cute! Clearly it knew that I’ve always wanted a lamancha!

Redwood Hill is surrounded by apple trees, which were in blossom when we arrived.
More pictures tomorrow. Thanks again to Jennifer, Scott and Trinity for our tour! For more information on Redwood Hill, check out their website: http://www.redwoodhill.com/ or their blog, “The Bleat Beat” http://www.redwoodhill.com/pages/
I love lamanchas!

This lamancha kidded while we were at Redwood Hill. For the rest of the day it was a total loud-mouth, but Julian managed to capture it in a rare state of apparent calm.
Even Julian has picked up my bias for Saanens and Lamanchas- it seems that 75% of his photos are those two breeds.
Lovely eyelashes!
