The Redwood Hill Farm herd of goats was the first herd in the U.S. to be certified to be raised humanely, which is no small feat. Each goat on the farm is named, roams freely and is fed as nearly an organic diet as can be managed at this time. Through careful breeding, Jennifer Bice and her farm team have created goats of superior genetics that not only produce wonderful milk, have great personalities but also take Best In Show at national competitions. The Redwood Hill Creamery in Sebastopol has an excellent recycling program in place and Jennifer some day hopes to bave the facility powered by a solar power. The Redwood Hill employees are like family and all levels of the workforce have health care and dental benefits plus are paid well for their work. Jennifer Bice cares about her animals, her products, her employees, the environment and her community. Sonoma County is very fortunate to have her. So, if you are thinking of buying some tasty goat cheese, yogurt or kefir — buy LOCALLY and from an employer who cares about the animals and people that produce what you are eating.
And “no” I’m not Jennifer but I did use to work at Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery. It is truly the real deal.

Don’t forget about Laura Chenel’s Chevre, made in Sonoma Valley for more than 25 years! Another reason Sonoma is on the international map for making great goat cheese.

Patti Karlin, of Bodega Goat Ranch does not mention eating goat…..at all Mary. Have you ever Been to Bodegs Bay??? If you were lucky enough to live out on the pasture there and never be eaten, then yes I would like to be reincarnated as one of her goats. They have a better life than us. No daily 101 traffic to and from work, no cell phones, no KIDS…..(little joke) anyway…..read the article thorougly before you judge, or perhaps just read it.

Last week we spent a couple of days in Inverness for our anniversary. By happenstance the Sunday before we left the Chronicle had a rave review of Osteria Stilline in Point Reyes Station. We got a reservation and were very pleased. Overall the food was interesting and when not great tasting, it was something I’d never had before, e.g. sieved quail eggs.
The goat shoulder with polenta was well reviewed so I tried it. Wonderful. It had been awhile since I’ve had birria and this reminded me of how good it can be. There is a unique taste to goat that I quite like. I think I’ll be checking out some of the above recommendations.

meat animals are treated well til the end? That can be debated…check out factory farm clips on youtube….and what happens at the end….the goats are hog-tied, hung upside down, and their throats are slit while they cry out in pain….dead animals are not food…all animals goats, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, etc…have feelings, individual personalities, self-interest and a soul……you are taking this away with your fork….

OK, so lets let them run in the street like many dog owner Do. Instead of making them useful. YES they are neat creatures, but each animal serves a purpose . Meat animals are treated well until the end ,otherwise the end product would not be quality. Goat meat is the number 1 meat consumed in the WORLD

Yes they do make great pets but are good red meat less fat resulting in less cholestrol even less then skinless chicken. Goats milk is easier to digest then cow milk. the problem with the USA is we think we don’t eat pets where other places in the world does not have these feelings. The taste of the meat can be inflenced by what they eat. Those that are out on browse can taste more like deer while those that eat like cows will taste more like beef.

Automatic disqualification for saying “shame on…”
It’s already been established that I have none.
