Giddy Goat: New Season, New Products and new Places to get your Giddy!
We are gearing up for a great 2010 season and look forward to getting back to the Charleston Farmers Market the first week of April. Also look for us at other farmers markets around town and we will start popping up in small retail stores and restaurants over the coming weeks.
MEET THE GIDDY GOATS OF SPLIT CREEK FARMS
GIDDY GOAT AT BREWVIVAL 2010
We were excited to share our cheese with over 1000 people at the Brewvival. The turnout was fabulous and being among the nation's top craft breweries was a fabulous place to introduce our artisinal cheese to a wider audience. Look for more Coast beer and Giddy Goat pairing events throughout the Spring. Thanks to our friends at Coast and Charleston Beer Exchange for letting us be a part of this wonderful event.
BIN 152: We are excited to be supplying our Ginger and Pimiento Goat Cheese to one of our new favorite spots in downtown Charleston, Bin 152. We are planning a tasting event and expect to be in regular rotation in the next week or two. Located at 152 Queen St. it was opened by Fanny and Patrick Panella. They are good people and we are very happy to be working with them.
From the Charleston City Paper: "The store is a wine and cheese bar, antiques store, and art gallery selling wines from around the world but focusing on small producers and under-appreciated wines. They offer artisan cheeses, charcuterie, pâtés, and other cured meats to accompany the wines, and the menu may expand into plated meals later. All antique furniture in the bar is available for sale and they feature a different artists' work every month.
NEW PRODUCT:
We are also happy to announce a new product for 2010, Italian Herb Goat Cheese Balls in olive oil. So far the reception has been great and these ship more easily than the fresh cheese, so are available for mail-order. Check it out in the OPP Store.
