Goats Galore Farm
One of Debi Greenberg's Boer does munches on the palmettos at Goats Galore Farm in Loxahatchee, Florida | more photos of goats eating palm
About twenty minutes inland from downtown West Palm Beach, on a three-acre plot of land in Loxahatchee, Florida, twenty-five Boer and Nubian goats munch happily on the fibrous leaves of palmetto trees. Their owner, Debi Greenberg, a former labor and delivery nurse, expects several of them to kid any day now, and as she talks with us, she draws attention to their udders, which are filling out, and the ligaments beneath their tails, which she says relax before they give birth. Debi pays attention to these details, not only because she is a careful farmer, but also because when she left nursing in 1994, she joined her husband's private investigation firm, the Miami-based Bill Greenberg Special Investigation Services, Inc., of which she is currently vice president.
Three years ago, the Greenbergs moved to the country, hoping for a little more space. When lawn maintenance became overwhelming, someone suggested to Debi that she buy a goat or two to keep the lawn and brush clear. The Goats Galore herd has grown from there. In addition to improving the herd's genetics, Debi's goal for her goats is to meet the needs of the immediate community for meat and, in the heart of horse country, equine companions. She's only been raising goats for about a year, but she's done a great amount of research and seems to be off to a running start. Needless to say, her investigation has been thorough. —MMH
