Garlic, perhaps the single most important plant to support health. Its good for SO many things in man and beast. For the latter, one thing it does quite effectively is kill internal parasites naturally.
It does, however, have quite the flavor....
We routinely treat the animals for parasites, as parasites are ubiquitous in our world. While most farms use harsh chemicals (i.e. poisons) to treat the animals, we have chosen a different route... herbs and plants. We rotate through a set of herbal parasite control throughout the year. This not only effectively treats parasites, but actually increases the animals health in the process.
It does, however, have quite the flavor....
So yes, this time the garlic parasite treatment of the goats was very effective but, well, tended to linger on... and on... We had timed it so that the treatment started in between all herdshare milkings, with expectation that the flavor (which does get into the milk) would dissipate before the next herdshare milking came around. Well, yea. That didnt work out. The flavor lingered.
So for 2 weeks now, the milk has had a distinct and lingering although decreasing taint of garlic / onion flavor. Some days it was stronger than others. But always there. Sometimes it would take two or three drinks for the flavor to build, but it was there!
For herdshare members: as we said in email... if you find the milk objectionable, we offered a $20 credit on your account to compensate for any inconvenience.
We are happy to announce that it is now all clear! after two weeks, the milk is back to its sweet creamy flavor!
Next time we will keep this in mind when doing a parasite purge with garlic!
