I've been buying products from The Dancing Goat for over a year. I mostly buy when I see them at The Hyde Park Farmers Market but have bought at other farmers markets they participate in as well. Recently, I've been driving to their farm since during these days of COVID-19, there are no farmers markets and local shows. I have barely left my house but journeyed to The Dancing Goat Farm to do a porch pickup this past weekend because I really needed some fresh eggs and cheese. It's very convenient and they are extremely safe. Pam, the owner and super friendly GOAT lady, greets you from a distance and puts out your goodies for you to pick up. This time I bought a dozen chicken eggs, a dozen quail eggs, a golden keffir, basil/pesto/pine nuts goat cheese, bee happy goat cheese, and a special edition of a cherry chocolate goat cheese.
The golden keffir is delicious! I love the ginger and it's just a tad sweet. I don't like anything too sweet and this is just right. Pam has explained to me that they only use a little honey for sweetener. I've also had the strawberry keffir in the past and it's delicious as well!
I swear the fresh eggs just taste better than anything you can get at the store! They are large to xlarge eggs and I've never gotten a bad one but Pam will replace one if you do. Once you have these fresh eggs, you aren't going to want store bought anymore.
Now, for my very favorite items... the goat cheese!!! Every flavor I've ever had is delicious! One of my favorites for savory is Tomato/pesto/pine nuts. I can just eat the whole container with a spoon but I try to be good! The Bee Happy is lavender and honey flavored. Yummy! While, it's a special, I also enjoyed the cherry chocolate flavor. It is definitely sweet, so use it as a dessert cheese! BTW, these look beautiful! Whenever we get back to normal and you are having a party or going to a party, take advantage of these cheeses for guests! I inhaled them before I took pictures. Ugh... sorry... next time.
I also want to note that The Dancing Goat takes in non-domesticated, smaller, farm animals rescued by the Humane Society of Tampa Bay! When you do porch pickup you can see some of the goats, chickens, and other animals who live on the farm. You may be greeted by a cat or a friendly and respectful doggy! You can also know that supporting the family-owned, small business also helps support animal rescue.
They have many more products: milk, different cheeses, and even goat milk soaps. I've bought several bats of soap and they are wonderful also. Lots of variety and the soap leaves my skin soft. I've been washing my hands a lot more. I've been using a strong antibacterial soap but following with my goat soap to replenish moisture and soothe my hands.
I do have some pics of the farm and a pic of their latest list of products! Everything is delicious, healthy, and local. Now more than ever lets support this small business!
A tip: They accept cash, zelle, or venmo, no credit/debit cards, do keep that in mind! In order to pick up right now, you need to pre-order although they will accommodate you last minute if they have the product. It's easy and the contact info and how to do it is in the pics I'm posting.
