Just down the road from our friends farm is a goat farm. Emily, Jacob and I are addicted to goat cheese. Rick likes it too, but we usually polish it off before he gets any. (Rebekah and Jane don't care for it.) We thought we'd take the Littles, and head over there to see the milking.
It was great - just the kind of place you want to think all your food comes from - big open fields, beautiful trees, etc. The woman came to milk them, and called all the goats in by name.
The kids had lots of fun exploring; blowing "fairies" ...
and playing with sticks and rocks.
We loved seeing all the goats.
Of course, the kids HAD to chase the cats (they love cats.)
Jacob was fascinated with the milking apparatus.
All the goat cheese getting made - YUMMY!
We bought a pound of garlic and herb, 7oz of plain and 7oz olive oil and thyme. I was concerned about buying so much that we might not eat it before it went bad.
Ummm - no problem! I'm embarrassed to admit we finished it in less than 10 days!
(Jacob and I really enjoy goat cheese!)

I love Jacobs expression when looking at the milking machine. You can just see his little cogs turning.
