Goat Cheese Farm Tour


 On Taupaki Road near Bethell's Beach there is a small Dairy Goat Farm where we met the owners of this tiny cheese factory.  Their farm shop is totally worth a drive out here by itself, but it is surrounded by vineyards, markets, and farms.  We found fresh eggs, tomatoes, berries, beetroot, and kumara for sale all along this road. We simply couldn't stop at all of them.





I'd never heard of most of the goat cheeses, but I went with the familiar Ricotta and chose a plain Parvenu by recommendation.  Wow, amazing.  There is no cracker worthy of this cheese.

Simon and Gavin made new friends.  These are the goats who's milk was used to make the cheese. 
 
Simon was freaking out but Gavin was having the time of his life.  These two are so predictable.
