Goats = Cheese
We headed out a few miles North of downtown Marfa to check out the place where all that wonderful cheese we get around Marfa is made. Malinda, Al & goats greeted us. We learned their history & experiences then headed over to help Al milk goats. Several goats have learned to just hop up on the milking stand & are ready to get started. Some were more friendly than others & loved posing as well as checking us out. Our daughter enjoyed the milking lesson as well. Then a treat of a variety of goat cheese to end our time there. A fun hour for sure!

Up Close with Goats
Marfa Maid Dairy is a small farm with llamas and goats. The llamas are a novelty, but the goats are the workers on this dairy. One hour tours are available by appointment... as we took one in March on our visit to Marfa. You are greeted by Malinda, who is the cheese maker... and she gives the introduction and history of their dairy. She turns you over to her partner, Allan, who is the goatherd and leads you through the farm where you get to meet the goats up close and personal... and eventually you get to milk a goat. The tour finishes with Malinda as you sample some of their delicious cheeses. She also gives cheese making classes periodically. It's a fun hour, especially if you have kids. Btw, you can get their cheeses at Marfa's Saturday Market.

Outstanding trip to Marfa Maid Dairy
We loved the gracious hospitality by both Malinda and Allan. The up close and personal introduction to artisanal cheese making and meeting the goats made it such a special and memorable time.
