Got Goat's Milk Soap? Salem Farms not kidding

Photos and Story by Ken Beck

The way Pat Ryan sees it, Salem Farms is a nursery, a goat farm, a dairy and a soap factory. 

He and wife Katie moved into the 1918 farmhouse on the old Armstrong Arnold place near Norene 7½ years ago. First, they tried raising Boer goats for meat, but in October of 2010 they switched their herd to Nubians for milk.
