St Tola goat cheese is said to be one of the finest artisan cheeses in the world, while their St Tola herd of Saanen, Toggenburg and British Alpine goats are reared on 65 acres of some of the finest unspoiled pasturelands in Europe. Each of their public tours of the farm includes a chance to pet and feed their beautiful goats, a cheesemaking demonstration and a full tasting of all their gourmet cheeses. Or if you would prefer a private group tour, this includes a full tour of their working farm, where you will see the goats during feeding time and get a better understanding of sustainable farming. A cheese making demonstration is also included along with a cheese tasting, and at the end of every tour visitors can visit St Tola’s Économusée museum and buy cheese in the farm shop.View this post on InstagramI was hanging out with this goat a week ago and I miss her. #tbt #goatsofinstagram #squadgoats
