Reichert's Dairy Air: About Us Lois is the goat-keeper and cheese-maker of Reichert's Dairy Air. This is a full-time (ad)venture for her. She enjoys the challenges and creativity involved in making cheese, but her real love is caring for the goats and keeping them happy and healthy. Jack is "Chief Procurer of Hay." As a full time psychologist, he is not involved in day to day dairy operations, but is responsible for finding, hauling, and stacking lots of hay. He milks on Saturday mornings when Lois goes to market, and cares for the bucks. Jack raised dairy goats before he and Lois met, and he spent several years trying to talk her into getting a few milking does. Man, is he sorry about that now. Ben likes to describe his role as "Chief of Manure Management." He is a big help to mom in the dairy and is always eager to chip in and help clean the barn. He really enjoys his new job, "Chief Taster of Strong Cheeses." As the European style cheeses age and become stronger, Lois won't taste them, but Ben loves them and can tell her if they are any good. At 14, he is big and strong and carries the heavy feed bags into the parlor for his mom, as well as helping with the heavy lifting at the Farmer's Market. He takes on most of the kid feeding chores and enjoys showing goats at the county fair. He's the reason we got the goats in the first place, as he does not tolerate cow's milk. So really, this is all his fault. |
