She Bought 35 Starving Goats for $6—Everyone Laughed Until the Drought Came

Everyone laughed when Edith Marlowe spent six dollars on 35 starving goats nobody wanted. With only rocky Colorado land covered in thistles, scrub, and wild mustard, her struggling farm seemed destined to fail. But Edith saw something the others missed. The goats could thrive on the very land cattle couldn't use, and their rich milk gave her an idea: hard goat cheese that could survive the brutal summer heat.

Soon, the woman everyone mocked was building a thriving dairy and proving the value had been there all along.
