Street Goat-Urban Goat Rearing for High Welfare Milk and Meat

Street Goat is an urban micro dairy collective based in Bristol which aims to bring animal farming back into urban spaces and bring people closer to where their food comes from. Since the project’s foundation in 2015, it has grown to have three milking sites across Bristol and a regenerative grazing project called Meat Goat. Meat Goat buys ex-dairy male kids that were destined for slaughter after birth and rears them for several years around Bristol on different nature reserves and plots of land. In this panel discussion we will explain how we work with the local councils, wildlife trusts and other organisations to manage their land for them, as well as how the project functions. We’ll also look at some of the more challenging situations we have experienced with the project. Our aim is to show you how we use this model to provide high welfare goat meat to local communities whilst also benefitting the wider environment.
