Yesterday we went to visit the Geitenboerderij Ridammerhoeve. This goat (and chicken and cow and pig and horse) farm is nestled in Amsterdamse Bos just outside the "ring" around the city of Amsterdam.
What fun!
Lots of cute baby goats hop and frolic in the fields and pens. Chickens run free. A goat tried to eat my jacket. And we even got to pet the horse!
But since this blog is about eating, let me tell you what there is to eat at Geitenboerderij Ridammerhoeve! You can buy many varieties of homemade goat cheese, organic and biodynamic eggs, goat milk, goat milk yogurt, and even goat (and other types of) meat!
Did you know... goat meat is lower in calories and fat than chicken!?!
Geitenboerderij Ridammerhoeve serves a nice lunch menu using products from the farm including organic veggies from the gardens ...and they have yummy goat milk ice cream!
Did you know...many people who are lactose intolerant can eat goat's milk products without trouble? The protein and fat molecules in goat milk are different from those found in cow milk. Next time I visit I plan to bring my own glass bottles and pick up some goat milk!
It's a great destination for the kiddies and those who like to see where their food comes from. And they host a small farmer's market on Saturdays too.
The surrounding forest and green fields of Amsterdamse Bos provide a nice outing. Stroll the park's trails or even rent a canoe for the day. Right now the fields and woods are full of flowers. So lovely!
What fun!
