Yes we have goats, we wouldn't be without them. They give us all our dairy products and alot of the meat that we eat. As far as growing tomatoes in the house we use a shop light over top of the pots. DW also has green beans and cucumbers growing as well. It's not a great system but it works, can't wait untill we get our green house built !!!!!!! BTW we raise nubians. Thanks for all the 's
