It is with great excitement and anticipation that we, Thyme for Goat are making CHEVON,
(goat meat) available for sale in the State of Maine and online for shipment nation wide.
We are a group of small family farms who have partnered together to assure the availability
of a high quality, Maine raised product.Our herds are raised in a natural enviroment exposing them to pasture feed, sunlight and shelter from inclement weather. They enjoy browsing, Maine hay crop, grain and garden grown veggie treats. The herds consist of breeds that are primarily raised for meat production, offering delectable meat cuts for our customers. Chevon (goat meat)is 50-65% lower in fat, but has a similar protein content to that of beef. The USDA reports that it contains 40% less saturated fat than skinless chicken. It is lower in cholesterol than venison and rabbit. The health benefits of eating goat meat are becoming well known in the United States. The article Use of Goat Milk and Goat Meat as Therapeutic Aids in Cardiovascular Diseases by John R. Addrizzo states that "Chevon should be designated as the naturally occurring health meat." Of course most of the world knew about it long ago. That is why goat is the most commonly consumed meat product world wide. In the past the goat meat made available to us was imported. Now, this wonderful home grown red meat is being raised on many farms right here in the great State of Maine. Thyme for Goat was founded in the spring of 2007. We are actively working to increase both the supply of and demand for goat meat in Maine and through out the Northeast US. We are seeking input from the public to help guide us in the development of our products. Please take a few minutes to fillout our survey form.
