We stumbled upon them at Camp North End Farmer's Market. Nice array of different flavors and packaging of fresh, locally made goat cheese. The young teen working the table, Ezri, expertly answered our questions, permitted samples (Covid protocols in place), and fielded questions about pricing, etc. I'd like to know where they found her. Loved it. We left with a bag full of goodies and especially liked their picnic sampler. Includes four 2-ounce tubs with different types of chevre, crackers, napkins, and small spoons perfect for a snack while at the park. Just add wine. Nice. As of this writing, Blue Goat Dairy can be found at 10 area Farmer's Markets throughout the area. Milking all the udders on my "Give 'em a whirl meter." Goat here. Baaaaaah.

We came with two other couples, and it was such a fun spot to chat, eat, and drink! Really loved it.
