Goat milk. Goat cheese. Goat yogurt. Goat ice cream. This Saturday, they are all for the tasting at
CUESA's Goat Festival, which takes place at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. The event's cosponsor is a goat's milk marketing group called
Promote the Goat, aka the Goat Girls ― the owners of
Redwood Hill Farm,
Cypress Grove Chevre, and
Laloo's Ice Cream. Which means, of course, the organizers will be accompanying their 10 a.m. talk with plenty of free samples, followed by cooking demonstrations by One Market chef Mark Dommen and author Maggie Foard. Winding up the event will be an interview and book-signing with Rainbow's rockstar cheesemonger,
Gordon Edgar.
Redwood Hill Farm is bringing baby goats to the market for children to
nuzzle up with. Which is why, perhaps, CUESA's not sampling out goat
curry, goat kebabs, and goat salami. SFoodie hopes our other favorite
red meat will be a highlight of next year's Goat Festival.
