The first thing you see is little stalls made of wooden pallets. Little white ears peek out from behind them. The closer you approach the sheds, the more excited the little ears get bobbing up and down hectically. A little goat\u2019s head peeks out for a moment\u2014just to duck again instantly.

In spring, the hustle and bustle on the Prokop farm in Landau is particularly great. 110 kids were born over the past four weeks. \u201cThis time is always special for us\u2014beautiful and pretty exhausting at the same time,\u201d Michaela says. In this period, the entire family pitches in, because everything has to be done at once: care for the kids, milk the goats, make cheese. \u201cSometimes five people sit here at the same time and feed the kids with the bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-40.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-40-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-40-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-40-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-40-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-40.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Michaela Rahm with the youngest kids of her goats.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Goats haven\u2019t been on the Prokop farm for long yet. It was mainly pigs that used to be kept here. The farm is located at the edge of the Queichheim neighbourhood of Landau since 1970. It was run by the uncle of Michaela\u2019s husband Jochem, Rainer Prokop, until 2008. When the new generation was to take over the business, the family sat down and discussed together future options for the farm. At that time, Michaela still lived in a forester\u2019s house near Weidenthal in the Palatinate Forest where Jochem Rahm worked as a forester. \u201cWe thought about it for quite a while and then we decided: We\u2019ll take our chances!\u201d They took over the farm and wanted to extend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>But the new industrial district in Queichheim grew and continues to do so constantly\u2014until it\u2019ll have surrounded the farm completely very soon. \u201cThere wasn\u2019t enough space for an extension,\u201d Michaela explains. And pig farming no longer fitted well into the town\u2019s concept for development. But no one in the family could imagine having a farm without animal husbandry. \u201cSo we finally decided to start from scratch and shake up the entire business with the support of the town\u2019s compensation payment,\u201d Michaela says. The new name for the project was decided on quickly: Die Meckerei, literally meaning \u2018the bleating\u2019. The last pigs moved out of the barn in 2014\u2014and the first 40 goats moved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We sell our cheese fater than we can produce it<\/p><cite>Michaela Rahm<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love animals. I used to always love having as many of them as possible around me when I was a child,\u201d Michaela explains. When she was in the forester\u2019s house, she kept a few goats and began to make cheese herself\u2014just small quantities and for their own consumption. Producing one\u2019s own food\u2014this really made her happy. Next to this, she even trained as a skilled agricultural economist for artisan dairy making from 2017 to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-21-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-21-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-21-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-21-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-21.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook, these are our girls.\u201d You can\u2019t miss the pride Michaela\u2019s voice conveys. The barn is home to more than 80 goats, 60 of which have had kids this year. Most of them belong to the White German Noble goat type, with some Coloured type specimens with brown fur and four Anglo-Nubian goats with pendulous ears bleating in between. Billy goats keep the ladies company only once per year. On today\u2019s visit, most of the goats nibble at some hay or just rest on the straw. They have space and move around freely. \u201cAnd they can enjoy their time outside in the yard as soon as it gets warmer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-36.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-36-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-36.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Meckerei \u2018girls\u2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Michaela crosses the barn towards the other end where the milking station is. This is where the goats are milked. \u201cDuring milking they are fed concentrated feed stuff. After all, stepping up here must be worthwhile for them,\u201d Michaela smiles. From here the milk flows into a pre-collection container and then into a large cooling tank. At the moment, the goats give as many as 210 litres of milk per day. However, the milk isn\u2019t stored for long\u2014it is processed within a two-day period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-22-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-22-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-22-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-22-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wo-Sonst-Meckerei-Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-22.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Michaela loves old things: \u201cThey just have more style!\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Michaela walks along the barn under a cosy pergola.

Yesterday she filled the milk in and added a particular bacteria culture\u2014acidification as expert say. Afterwards she added rennet so the milk curdles and the whey separates from the curd. Later she will let the cream cheese run out of the container into another one that is lined with cloth. \u201cApart from rennet we don\u2019t add anything.

In addition to their own products, Michaela sells decorative items, jewellery and kitchenware in the shop. \u201cMy sister and I bring everything that we find pretty ourselves\u2014and that you can\u2019t really acquire elsewhere in the region,\u201d Michaela explains the simple concept behind it. In winter, when the goat \u2018girls\u2019 are on maternity leave, the shop is closed. It reopens mid-March.
