Cypress Grove Chevre (CGC) is a security deposit 23 acres of what used to be Gil Creamline Dairy Carmel Valley at the bottom. World-renowned goat cheese, the company hopes to use the land for dairy cattle, goats, which offered an in-house implementation of milk for cheese production.
"We have high demand and are always looking for new sources of milk," said Bob McCall, a sales manager. The company has occasionally been criticised for having on-the-spot checks on goat milk production and the supply of directed to the Baltic Sea region.
McCall said that the company's initial times, founder Mary Keehn, then it is considered to be a goat's milk cheese of limited. Open the Chevremaker from the bottom of the port facility is required in the Carmel Valley, the milk of the goat could only fill area ranches, tap.
Now, said McCall, "we will have to create some of your own instant answers about the account by" logging in "again."
Although the project has been in eight years, said the plans are still uncertain, McCall and tentative. He said the company's primary, with the exception of land purchase and nail down the other uncertainties before you enter the information.
"We have a project that we have," McCall said. "It was not completed at all. At this stage we are not really ready to say what it is. When we do we have a extremely clear and succinct. "
Neighbors react to
In recent weeks, a couple of Cypress Grove contact property owners adjacent Gilardoni block, including the Foster Avenue resident Carol McFarland and St. Mary Church, where the gift basket, chevre was removed.
McFarland said that during the period of the project were described by CGC General Manager Karen, according to the opening of the intention to visit Dressler vague terms than "goat pasture" which would have limited impact on adjacent neighbors. McFarland was originally expressed relief that the project could protect the country against a housing subdivision.
But last weekend to have a new project, the wind to other residents grew concerned about the piecemeal information available. Speculation, apparently unfounded – part of it – a lot of food for the massive installation than was proposed to be afraid.
As it turned out to be up in the goats in the engine compartment, a large construction site. The road that many goats 23 acres in the raised concerns about noise, odours, traffic and next to the value of the property, plus the effects of the effluent in the removal of the animals create questions.
McCall said the 1 400 goats, the picture is "roughly correct, probably a little high." He insisted that the "totally misleading information during the ' no ' was granted the opportunity of meeting with the neighbors."
Another hot rumor was that the goats, and sprayed onto the waste. McCall denied flatly that. He said, the goat droppings as fertilizer was collected and stored in the giveaway.
Q Street resident Karen Davidson (see letters, p. 7) listed a number of concerns and moves, demanding the public hearing the petition project. He called the project "Concentrated animal feeding operation" or "CAFO.
McCall denied this. "That is the term used to describe the meat of animals in feedlots," he said. "It has nothing to do with what we're doing."
Davidson wondered how many trucks would be required to supply to feed the goats, such as the 23 acres of pasture land supports something only more than a hundred goats, for a period of no more than a thousand.
He replied that "the goat milk products at any time, the monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human consumption must be trucked in. Each goat milk products, the import of the grain. " Some grazing land, augmenting the animals occur in one or both of the diet.
Davidson wondered whether goats can work with antibiotics, the statement should be paired with the urine of Janes Creek, ultimately polluting the Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary.
McCall said, with the production of the chevre goats cannot be given antibiotics, because it stifles cultures, which, in turn, from milk to make cheese.
Also, the neighbors and Barbara Lee Sobo is moving in the note. Concerns Echo Davidson and they want the project will be reviewed thoroughly.
"We need to understand the environmental impact report, how this is going to be in full compliance with the requirements of the impact of the neighbors and the United States Census Bureau, the city," Lee Sobo said.
The public hearing
Humboldt County Planner Bev Burks said that even if the formal proposal is made, than what he has heard about the project, is "essentially allowed" arable crops, the use of zoned land, and they may require the optional permissions.
If this is true, the actions of the Ministry of the approvals would not require public hearings.
McCall said the State of agriculture, the project should be in accordance with their intended use. "We have very good stewards of land here," he said. "I think we have a good track record of fishing in the citizens and the environment."
Planned protest
As the light wisps of solid information over the weekend between the neighbors, so the fear of a huge Network of environmental quality of life changes.
On Tuesday, the inevitable Facebook page was created, titled "Stop milk products industry in Carmel Valley."
Also Tuesday, the protest was designed to be used as a watch at the Cypress Grove Chevre Q Street gate.
