Secrets from Chuckling Goat: How a Herd of Goats Saved my Family and Started a Business that Became a Natural Health Phenomenon

Wonderful stuff. Wholesome. Healthy. I too am an American living in Britain, 27 years now. Unbelievable. We love it here. I come from a farm in America but don't live on a farm here though we do live in the countryside. If you are reading this Shann, you are quite the inspiration. I have highlighted lots of passages. When I am done with chemotherapy, wondering if your stuff would cure my IBS. And I really want to know, can you cure COVID-19? No, I don't have it but it would be wonderful if you could find a cure. What about a terribly sore scalp after hair loss? I'm not even allowed to take probiotics on chemotherapy, so I'm sure the kefir will have to wait.I was so impressed with your willingness to work hard, do anything for your family, experiment, research, start a business, and especially heal your husband. You deserve some prestigious award for that, definitely. Love the pictures at the end of the book.

I loved reading this book. It is so well written with just the right amount of humour, personal detail and pace to make it an exceptional,inspirational true story of a real health heroine and a reminder that the best in life comes with challenges.I'm sure it will remind other people as much as it reminded me never to quit the dream, and that dreams come true in all sorts ofquirky ways when you "follow your bliss".Wishing Shann and her family and Chucking goat all the luck and best wishes they deserve.

I read this book as I had just found out about Kefir and was making some for the first time. I don't usually read auto biographies but this was a little gem. The book has beautiful descriptions of how the author changed her life and those around her as she embraces the world of a small Welsh farm. It has lots of little practical recipes which I am going to try and lovely concepts about belonging. It is a very simple read and all the better for it. I don't think it will change your life but the way the author shares her experienced it will certainly enrich it - and if you haven't yet got on the Kefir product wagon or tried dairy products from raw milk - by the end of this book you might!

This is such a fun and inspiring read. I really like how Shann includes her recipes and photos of her life with goats and her family. The book encourages us to keep going when times are tough and celebrate all achievements however small.

I am not one to write reviews but I had to for this book. I have just purchased my first order of goats milk kefir and thought I would read about the story behind it. This is indeed a story of a truly inspirational woman who through steel will, determination and belief has created a wonderful life for herself and her family. She echos many of my own passions towards nature and the gifts it can give us in abundance if we just open our eyes and have faith. It is clearly written from the heart and I read it in two days. I highly recommend reading this if you want to be taken back to basics and what it really means to be and feel alive.
