Pescadero, California: Harley Farms; things to do



Harley Farms  205 North St., (800) 394–2939, (650) 879-0480. Tours Sat-Sun at 11 & 1, by reservation. $20, 6-10 $10.

This 9-acre dairy goat farmstead (this term means cheese is made only from milk produced on this farm) offers a 2-hour behind-the-scenes tour that includes meeting some of the 200-plus curious American Alpine goats, milking one, and learning how to make goat cheese. Cheese tasting occurs in a rustic hayloft. Spring is kidding season. Guide Ryan Andrus says, “Sheep are dumb. Goats are smarter, noticeably smarter.”
