Chef Cooperatives is happy to announce their next farm feast, this time to benefit New Braunfels goat dairy farm, Goatilicious, which sells fantastic goat cheese at farmers markets such as the Pearl Farms Market. Owners Robert and Claudia Ragels intend to use the funds to finish production on their Dairy.
\n\n\n\n
They currently have approximately 125 goats and produce a variety of cheeses, such as Chèvre, LaMancha Española (manchego-style Spanish cheese) Tomboy (Tomme-style farm cheese) and Feta, as well as milk, soap, face & body creams.
\n\n\n\n
The Chef Cooperatives chefs will be incorporating Goatilicious' cheeses into their farm-to-table dishes to create a one-of-a-kind menu, also sourcing from other local farms for meat and produce.
\n\n\n\n
"What I like about this event is all these chefs really understand food and are taking our cheese and turning it into spectacular dishes. I'm just amazed and pleased with the creativity," said Robert Ragels. "We're looking forward to supplying San Antonio with a lot of cave aged natural rind cheeses. We can produce hundreds of pounds of cheese a week."
\n\n\n\n
The Ragels initially started milking goats because of their son's sensitivity to cow milk, but it was a blessing in disguise. Robert, who was diagnosed with PTSD in the military, began working with the goats as a form of therapy. "Having the animals helped me deal with it. It was a very peaceful thing. When having a stressful day, I go into the pen and lose myself with the animals. It's the reason we've kept them so long," said Robert.
\n\n\n\n
Guests of the event can also get in on a little goat time! They will be seated in the Hay Barn, with access to the milking goats, and if they're lucky, might even get to play with some baby goats too.
\n\n\n\n
Folks can donate directly to the farm at any time via Goatilicious' GoFundMe page.
