Acting the goat at Yellison Farm

Yellison Farm is a little off the beaten track and has a bunch of animals roaming around at will, all of who seem to have their own distinctive characters, from the horses who decided they would spend the morning in the garden to the cat who rules the roost over the dogs.

We found Stephen and Seamus in the kitchen enjoying a bacon sandwich and taking a break from their cheese making duties. After telling us a little about the history of the product and a quick catch up on local food gossip over coffee (made with Goat’s milk of course), Stephen took us on a tour of the farm.
