For the last few years We have enjoy our yearly trek with Pat over the hill to Pescadero for the Holiday fair at the Goat cheese farm. They have a big barn,( well, several big barns!) and upstairs in the converted hay loft they have a lovely array of hand crafted items to admire and purchase. All the artists are local and the variety of art is always fun to see. There is beautiful sea glass jewelry, knitted items, a women hand weaving the yarn as you admire her wares and many eatable things like lavender honey cheese, lavender sachets, peppermint bark, and jewelry made from antique beads, just to name a few. This year they expanded the fair into a second barn and its more of a small retail set up . They even had PAINT made from goat milk! What? In the original barn they have a lovely cheese shop , Scott bought two cheeses Fromage Blanc and goat cheese ricotta . They have a nice selection of many things made from their goat milk . We always like to watch the goats roam around and butt heads or chew on the fence or just chomp on hay. They are adorable little guys, for sure, although kinda stinky! Ha! Ha! I’d like to try to get back over there in the spring time to see the babies!
After enjoying the farm and the art we decided to head over to Sam’s Chowder House. This is a very popular spot in Half Moon Bay, right on the ocean that is known for their clam chowder . So three clam chowders, lots of sour dough dunking and a bite of pecan bread pudding and we were back in the car headed for home! Ahhhh! What a fantastic afternoon with two people I love! Did I mention GRATEFUL !!!
If he wasnt so stinky i probablly would have given him a smooch ! He”s such a flirt! And just my type!

Such a sweet picture of Scott and Pat! Wow, such beautiful hair! ( Pats, not Scotts!)
Quite a glorious day! So did you buy any paint?
Lovely! Thanks for sharing. So glad that you enjoy so many wonderful moments with your family!
I love these attractions that are widely known among locals but not so touristy. Great photos!
What a great day you all had–I’ll have to keep that little adventure in mind for the future–thanks for sharing!!
