Chevon

 

Chevon is a French-derived word for goat meat.  Did you know that chevon makes up more than 60% of the red meat consumed worldwide?  Chevon is a very lean meat, packed with protein.  Our goats have been fed real goat's milk (not powdered milk replacer) until weaned at about 8 weeks old.  From this point onward, their diet consists of grass alone.  Check out this article from the New York Times called "How I Learned to Love Goat Meat." 

Here is a glimpse of the nutritional content of chevon compared to some other popular meats:
