Tour of Sweet Land Farm-Oahu’s Only Certified Goat Dairy- October 8,  2017

Sunday 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM HST
Waialua, Oahu

 

Sweet Land Farm is Oahu’s only certified goat dairy. The Bello family purchased their land in Waialua in 2011. Emma Bello, an Leeward Community College culinary school graduate, was on her way to becoming a pastry chef when she fell in love with goats. She did a 3-month internship at Surfing Goat Dairy on Maui which turned into a full year. Following that were deeper explorations of goats, dairies, cheeses–including time in Europe and at Redwood Hill Dairy.  unnamed

The Creamery now produces about 400 pounds of cheese weekly during peak production. There are roughly 185 goats of varying breeds. The family is growing its own alfalfa feed and hopes to  become more self-sufficient in time. Emma will give us about a 90 minute tour. We will share our potluck lunch following the tour. Please bring your own utensils, cups, napkins, beverage.
We hope to see you there!
Cost :  $10 for members, $15 for non-members.Directions will be mailed out to participants a few days before the tour date.
