The lunchtime family meal is one of the most enjoyable things about working at Goat Lady Dairy. Each week day we gather in the dining hall just outside the cheese room to eat (windows on the back wall look into it). Steve's sister Ginny (the original Goat Lady) prepares a feast, sometimes small, usually large (especially when we have visitors) of freshly repared meats, soups, salads and deserts from the garden, nearby neighbors or the farmers market. Consistent with the values the farm represents, we know where most of the food comes from - who raised it or where it was grown. The freshness and flavors are out of this world. Strawberries are very much in season now and have been a staple for the past two weeks. It's like being on an island where all you have are strawberries and you have to figure out all the possible ways to eat them. Yesterday was our lucky day when Ginny churned up some ice cream and toasted brioche to go with the strawberries. Here is Gareth helping Ginny serve up an oversized portion.
