Off To Ireland: Part 9!

After we left the cliffs of Moher, we retraced our steps a bit and drove into the rural area of County Clare to visit a goat farm, specifically a goat cheese making farm.  St. Tola Goat Cheese Farm.  Its cheese is famous in Ireland and also internationally. 

We were given a tour of the goat barn and offered a variety of cheeses and wines to accompany the cheese.

And we met the goats.






Evidently, yoga and meditation is the secret to their amazing cheese.

The next day was my favorite of our entire time in Ireland! Guess where!

hm...i wonder what your fave stop was.....
LOVE the goat pics. My sister HOpe, who lives i nthe woods of central New YOrk State where they are getting a lot of snow...has goats. She makes soap from goat's milk. I don't think she's made cheese due to all the stringent NY laws about making cheese and selling it.
