I love this place. Full disclosure though, I might be just a bit...very...biased because I love baby animals, especially baby goats. I think baby goats became my favorite farm animal of all time.
We went in March, and apparently there were 120+ baby goats when we visited, and they're expecting ~250 babies to be born this year (spring time).
You'll see (and touch) the baby goats right next to the parking lot. They're so cute! They run toward you for attention too. The goats were split into multiple sections. You'll be able to see the even younger babies behind the grass-chewing baby goats near the parking lot fence, but there was another enclosed pen near the store for you to pet the baby goats. The grown-up goats are all the way in the back, in the open grass area, 1 minute walk away from the parking lot. I saw an llama, but he/she was kinda far. I didn't see the donkey that people mentioned in the reviews and I didn't get to go in the barn, but I'm sure you'll get to get to see everything and get a closer experience with the animals if you opt for the paid tour.
To get to the shop from the parking lot, you'll have to go around (head toward the street) to find the entrance. They have a lot of interesting goat-related items in the shop, including olive oil, honey, crackers, lotion, cheese, souvenirs, ready-to-eat food, salami, ravioli etc. By interesting, I meant different flavors. Lotsa habanero items there too. The goat cheese are located inside the mini fridge (there are 2 mini fridges).
We got a savory puff pastry (asparagus and goat cheese) and a lavender honey goat cheese. The puff pastry tasted great, especially with the goat cheese, I just wish it was warm. The lavender honey goat cheese was expensive compared to the other flavor available there, but wow, it tastes soo good. I loved that goat cheese is soft and creamy, but I'm even more amazed that I was actually able to taste both the honey and lavender in the cheese. I paired the cheese with an original-flavored thin crisp that I bought from Whole Food.
I requested to go here since I was looking for things to do in the Bay Area. Originally, I wanted to go for hikes, but it was supposed to rain, so I purposely only planned to go to the farm. It was definitely worth the long ride over! You get to enjoy the pretty scenery along Highway 1.
