Harley Farms

This past weekend we met up with Brad and Jamee for one of our favorite hikes in Butano State Park.  Afterwards, we explored Pescadero, where we were introduced to the most amazing goat farm / cheese shop ever, Harley Farms.  The cheeses were all amazing, and we had a hard time deciding what to take home with us.  In the end, we went with honey lavender goat cheese and some deliciously salty feta.   Yum!

Goats!

Free samples of ~10 types of cheese, 4 types of olive oil, jam, and local honey

It was a beautiful day for goat cheese tasting


The farm grows their own flowers and lavender for the cheeses (and collects and recycles rain water)

Goats, cheese, and kitties. What more could you want?  We will be back for more soon.

  1. I LOVE THAT PLACE!!! Best goat cheese ever. Next time you go back make sure to go to Arcangeli Grocery: http://www.normsmarket.com/store/ and get their artichoke bread.

    When I went they had JUST put their bread out so it was still soft and warm with giant chunks of artichoke inside.

    Artichoke bread + goat cheese = heaven in your mouth.
