While I was home in September, my Memere, mom, Sy and I stopped to check out the Boston Post Dairy, a goat farm. Located right on Route 105 between Enosburg and East Berkshire, you really can’t miss it. It’s on a corner (you have to slow down to go around it), the big red barn and all the goats – its a real eye catcher out there in the country.

I’ve never been to a goat farm, this was all new to me. I actually called ahead of time to ask if we could watch the goats being milked… apparently they have some stage fright so we weren’t able to do that. There is a viewing area within the store (see below) of “the parlor”. Hours are listed inside stating what times during the week they will be making cheese so you can come and watch how it’s done. 

 

Inside the store, you could sample some cheese. I tried the goat cheese salsa. I found the goat cheese to be a bit more crumbly than the usual cheese. Think of it as a crumbly cream cheese consistency. (Let me know if you disagree.) Boston Post Dairy has a various cheeses including plain, garlic & herb, onion & dill, maple cream and hot nanny. They also had goat cheese truffles and goat meat available. Be sure to check out the goat milk soap, available in numerous scents.

The store has a ton of other merchandise available featuring local artists. Anything from blankets, handmade aprons, pot holders, books, toys and other food items.

While you are there, you might as well go outside and check out the funnest factor of the farm – the goats!

This guy even posed for me! I think I’ll name him Guthrie. Super cute!

Chickens roam freely with the goats. Apparently, they are the best of buds. Just on the side of the chicken coop you can grab some feed to feed them (both animals). Little kids would love this!

I’m not exactly sure how many goats they have total but if you are in the area, it’s a quick place to stop and just check it out, pet some goats, run from some chickens. It’s a good ole time in Franklin County!
