OUR MEAT PROGRAM
“One of my favorite times of the summer is buying a couple kid goats from Nancy and Piper at Border Farms. They have been friends of mine for some time now and it still amazes me how amazing they are with the animals and what they are able to produce and provide from their small but giant farm presence…” – Chef Scott Myers
We offer three types of goat meat that is raised biodynamically, with care and consideration, grain, chemical, and vaccine free. If you are interested let us know. We offer field harvest whole carcass meats, and also a private class for processing/meatsmithing with the purchase of a field harvested goat.
- CABRITO – 30 days or younger, primarily all milk fed. Tender, sweet meat, and a true delicacy. Mostly private chefs only
- CHEVON – 30 days to 8 months – tender, sweet, incredible flavor, versatile for quick or long and low temperature recipes
- GOAT MEAT – over 1 year – amazing for long and low temperature smoking or braising. Great flavor, handles all spice palettes well, most recipe books use Goat Meat.
OUR DAIRY PROGRAM
Traditional Greek Feta is made from goats cheese, and aged in its own fermented whey for at least 2 months. Tomorrow we dig in for the first time! This is the fourth type of feta I have made and I am super excited to try the aged version, but also raw and fermented.
I have been trying to keep up with my Farmers Cheese as this cheese really speaks to me, and with each round I have learned something new, observed a little something I hadn’t noticed before, and I have also been trying different culturing techniques and products.
The heat of summer has slowed cheese making down a bit because my kitchen is so warm, but there are still some I can focus on. I will be ready for more Alpine Cheeses with the first cool day!
TUESDAY NIGHT FARM MARKET – 5pm – 8pm. Sourdough Starter, Kefir Grains, Fresh Cultured Kefir, Cheese, Tea Blends, and herb salts – Farm Fresh and Optimal Nutrition! We might even have some of our garlic this week!
PAWS & PEOPLE
Our Monday Advanced Agility Sequencing Class is incredible! I have known all of these Teams since puppyhood. They have gone through the cute stage, the rock n’ roll adolescent wtf is wrong with you phase, the I don’t know what we want to do together phase – and are all now invested in agility together, and they are AMAZING! Today was our first big distance day and they nailed it! Attention, focus, skill, and the art of it all … all from a distance! Fodder for my soul!
SEPTEMBER Puppy/Adolescent Class – 11am (almost full)
SEPTEMBER Adult Specialty Class (DISTRACTION TRAINING) – 11am (one space available)
We are scheduling through the end of the year. If you are interested in group classes or phone appointments – please consider registering in advance.
