Baby Goats Return to Campus!!

Tandem tutor Heidi Passino has been busy on her Dragon Hill Farm in Fluvanna County helping to bring baby goats and lambs into the world. Fortunately for us, she loves to share these bundles of cuteness with the Tandem community. On a sunny day this week, Heidi brought about ten baby goats, most about 2-3 weeks old, to Tandem for the day so that students could enjoy them between classes and during break and lunch (seniors even got to bottle feed them). Heidi raises Nigerian Dwarf goats, the smallest breed of dairy goats (originally from West Africa) as well as Shetland sheep, and for many years has hosted Tandem students in our most popular Emphasis - goat farming. She cheerfully shares her young offspring with us on campus for Spring Day, Mother's Day Music Festival, and other outdoor gatherings each spring. They are a much-anticipated addition enjoyed by students and adults on campus as well. Thanks to Heidi and Dragon Hill Farm for bringing back the baby goats!
