WORKSHOP LEADER
Rebecca Saul, Glimfeather Farms
Rebecca was born and raised as a city girl, but attended Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, NC, where she solidified her love of the agrarian lifestyle and desire to be self-sufficient. She began her goat journey in 2012 and two years later started Glimfeather Farms. Since then, she has gotten into Nigerian Dwarf goats and making a wonderfully cleansing goat milk soap. While she doesn't make goat cheese commercially like she does her soap, lotions and lip balms, she is an expert cheesemaker with a Masters of Arts in Teaching. Rebecca tries to source as many high quality, natural, local, and sustainable ingredients as feasible. She loves experimenting with new recipes and techniques and she looks forward to teaching you!
