Visiting Celebrity Dairy - Farm Tours
Opening the year - February is the peak of kidding season. Our spring Open Barn event is usually from 12:00-5:00 PM.
We'll have lots of kids by then, and chances are pretty good that more than one birth will occur during our Open Barn. No matter what the weather, the action occurs in the barn, and under a roof. Come dressed for the weather. If you're hungry, we'll have food and beverages available in the Inn.
CSFA Farm Tour - its Saturday and Sunday afternoon of a weekend in late April. We're one of 20+ farms in Chatham and Orange counties that open our gates to visitors each spring to showcase our farms and farming methods. Depending upon the weather, we typically have between 600-800 visitors this weekend. We offer a picnic box lunch (with goat cheese, of course) - so bring your picnic blanket, and bottle of wine, and linger to enjoy our peaceful setting.
Closing the year - November brings the end of the goats' lactation, and of cheesemaking, and so gives us more time to visit friends. The Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend 1:00-5:00 PM is our fall open barn day. By then the year's kids have grown into teenagers, and the does are in mid-late gestation.
