Mmmmm…delicious! Only the very best when you come to visit The Gourmet Goat Farmer!! It couldn’t be any more local if you tried!! Given the majority of this gold top milk heads to London to be distributed to Abel and Cole customers, we wanted to keep it right here in Wiltshire! Not sure goats milk is for you? You need only ask, and we will give u a glass to try. Creamy, rich and always to everyone’s surprise not anything like that, that you buy from the supermarket AND neither is it “goaty”!! We will tell you the secret of why when you come and visit!!
A little toast was had this week to wish Linda, our shop manager extraordinaire of the last year, the very best for her travels to Ghana. Linda, pictured front centre (wisely wearing sunglasses!), will be very much missed. Her dedication, positive “can do” attitude was second to none, setting her apart from her peers. Not to mention her work ethic and professionalism. We feel very lucky to have had the pleasure of working with you Linda! X
Ice-cream anyone?! Come to The Gourmet Goat Farmer at Avebury! Your local support goes an enormous way in supporting our growing family farming business here on The Marlborough Downs.

Well behaved dogs on leads welcome, amazing circular walks to Avebury and free parking!!
🥛Goats milk🥛
Have you tried goats milk in your coffee? Why not try it next time you visit us here at The Larder?
Did you know goats milk is better for you than cows milk? Read below to find out why ⬇️
Steve is busy in the Butchery ready for you all to fire up your BBQ’s this weekend! If you haven’t tried our Burgers yet you really must! They’re our Bestseller and a great introduction to goat meat. We love hearing of your stories of entertaining, and surprising guests with our delicious burgers, often after they’ve been eaten!!
🥩Beef boxes🥩
We have a few boxes left of our white park beef. Our cattle are grass fed all year round and slowly reared, producing lean, marbled, high quality meat.
Support a rare breed and a local Wiltshire farm whilst enjoying some delicious beef!
💭You might spot some differences…💭
Over the next couple of weeks we will be welcoming a chef to The Larder team so some new food options will be available on the menu. Stop in and give us some feed back!
The goats will still be here, coffee and cake as well as lots of stories about the farm, the livestock and future events will all be readily available as always!
📚Book club📚
Our next book is A gentlemen in Moscow by Amor Towles.
