About the event
Local Goat is just west of Gingin on 148 acres of Banksia woodland, an hour north of Perth. Gerald milks the goats each morning, then Julie processes the milk to create a variety of artisan goat cheeses.
The Drummonds live in a straw-bale house built by Gerald and the property is serviced purely by solar power and rainwater.
The goats have paddocks to graze, as well as trees and shrubs to browse. The property and goats are managed in a sustainable, ethical and environmentally responsible manner. Happy, healthy goats produce high-quality milk which makes exceptional cheese.
Local Goat produces small-batch, artisan cheeses that reflect the clean, natural environment of the Northern Valleys.
This experience includes:
- Welcome gelato on arrival
- Gerald explains how the property and goats are managaed to produce a quality raw product
- A visit to the straw bale house and explanation of the self-sufficiency principles
- A tasting of every product in the cheese room, while Julie describes the cheese-making process
Costs: $45 per person. Maximum 10 spots per session.
