please please DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG!
buck and otto, our livestock guardian dogs, are very friendly to humans of all ages…. but they do not tolerate strange dogs near their goats!
We are not conducting tours or allowing visits with the goats at this time.
Another change at LWGD that our dear customers will notice next visit. Courageous, loyal, steadfast Pearl passed today. We buried her at the top of the pasture, her bones will mingle with the earth she guarded with such dedication. Respect!
The Quabbin Harvest Market supports Local Food in all it's manifestations, from the soil right through to the table, with the whole of the community supported. Let's support it back! There's so many ways within this fund drive.
One is to bid on the"Pasture to Plate" day at the Little White Goat Dairy! Come learn how goats, humans, and the microbial world transform soil to forage, forage to milk, and milk to cheese!
The LWGD offer will be at the live auction, which will be a really fun community gathering! Joining the fun is it's own way to support the Co-op, bidding not required ;)
Such a magnificent bright day! Yes it's very early for this announcement, but the herd and I are starting our winter rest this week. The store will have chevre eggs and meat all winter. But milk and kefir and the speciality cheeses will be on hiatus till spring. We wish you health and wellbeing!
Stella Blue, a small ashed bloomy rind disc that has the piquant tease of blue cheese from the addition of p. roqueforti culture. Midsummer pasture flavors bursting out all over. You can taste how happy the goats are! My favorite to make and to eat. Currently it's favored on a bed of greens with pecans, blueberries, olive oil and aged balsamic ( the really old kind!)
In the store this weekend!

Meet Wanda. Her mother is Sarah, her half sister is Natasha, her auntie is Lucy. Can you guess the naming theme for her line?
My deep apologies if you've been to the store this week to find bare shelves. I've been a bit under the weather but will get back to production on 7/15. There will be Stella Blue cheeses this weekend, as well as raw milk. Kefir ready Sunday afternoon. Not sure yet what else I'll cook up. Send me your wish list!
Ok I'm no food stylist, but these little goat cheese "crottin" are ready for their closeup! Mild and creamy sweet milk paste, a little sea salt tang, and a delicate rind with herbal and mushroom notes. Definitely a fruit pair candidate. Party time! In the farm store this long weekend. #artisancheese #farmsteadcheese#macheeseguild #cisalocalherofarms #localfarmerawards #centralmassgrown
Sorry, Natasha, just because you're weaned doesn't mean you get to raid the grain bin. Milking does only!
Duet Fresh, Morning Dew Surface Ripened, or Cave Aged Dis Leches! We have cheese for everyone's plate. These three are all absolutely wonderful mixed goat and cow milk cheeses. I make the Duet and Morning Dew here at Little White Goat, and our partner in mixing it up, Benjamin Wells-Tolley, makes and ages Dos Leches at @chasehillfarm .
Visit our farm stands for raw milk, eggs, and pasture raised meat too!

The return of one of my favorite cheeses to make and to eat! It's so rich and so fresh at the same time.It has sweetness from the Chase Hill milk with a lemon zest twist from the goat milk. It's earthy and salty, with a creamy dense center and that cream line that I don't know what words are for it! It is just a baby now, you can hold it for a week or so to get it riper and gooier. But this one is a real treat at it's beginning stages. Come to the Little White Goat Dairy farm store, or pick one up from @chasehillfarm at the @amherst.farmers.market on Saturday.

Duet is back! Creamy blend of goat and @chasehillfarm cow milk. Plain and roasted garlic in the store at Little White Goat. I'll post as soon as I know where Chase Hill will be vending too. OH OH OH right, kefir will be back in the store fridge by noon Saturday.
These little fresh goat cheese beauties are getting packed today. They are soooo sweet! they are great plain, sweet, or savory: fresh fruit or jam or honey, fresh herbs and coarse salt, drizzle with olive oil and a grind of black pepper (house fave). Send a pic of how yours gets dressed up!
They are meant to be eaten as fresh as possible, so plan on serving before 6/15.
