McKinleyville Gets Cypress Grove Goat Dairy – August 10, 2011
The goat herd will begin with 200 carefully selected does and is expected to grow to approximately 1200-1400 over the next five years.

It’s such a stain on Arcata that one can’t help but wish for a chance at redemption. Redemption doesn’t mean approving the project. It might mean rejecting the goat dairy for... »
What Are You Doing About This? – July 6, 2011
Note: With citizens wondering whether Arcata might still have any chance of hosting Cypress Grove Chevre’s goat dairy, we asked Mayor Susan Ornelas and Third District Supervisor Mark Lovelace if, in the weeks since the project was canceled, they had contacted the company to try and salvage it for Arcata. Below are their responses.... »

Carol McFarland: Let’s Turn Goatzilla Ground Zero Into A Protected Farming Incubator – June 24, 2011
A farming incubator could return the land to its historical roots, preserve it for farming “start-ups,” and ensure that our agricultural heritage remains a place to begin the future. »
Winning Dirty – The Goatbusters Defeated A Nightmare Of Their Own Imagining – June 24, 2011
