Join us on August 10 (Raindate / Extreme Heatdate August 17) between 11 -3 for a fresh take on an old tradition: the crowning of the Dairy Queen!
In some states, she’s a human, but around here the goats steal the show! Each year we select our top ten goats from among our hard-working, high-spirited, and undeniably beautiful herd. YOU can vote for your favorite Dairy Princess from this year’s crop of baby goats : )
Inspired by both Alpine and Indian traditions, we have planned a full day to celebrate these amazing animals. The goats have been grazing in our hill pastures since the spring, producing milk for our goat cheese, yogurt, and smoothies, and we’re excited to give them a day to shine! Our special “Goature” fashion team have hand-sewn glamorous outfits for the goats’ big day, and winning goats will receive hand-crafted flower crowns. You can join in the spirit of the day with your own flower crowns, ribbon wands available at our farmers market.
Grab lunch - and sweet treats! - from Red Stove Farm, B&T Baked Goods, and Brezel & Brot. Fill your basket with the best local veggies, sausage, syrup, soap, spices, and olive oils, as well as our full line of goat dairy products. Make a day of it, and take some time to celebrate the animals that give us all so much!
The Day’s Schedule:
11 – 12: Vote on your Favorite Dairy Princess from among this year’s doe kids and fill your basket at the farmers market. Have fun making your own willow crown and ribbon wand
