The Farm
Linda Seligman founded Round Mountain in 2002, and it became the first Grade A goat dairy in North Carolina. The creamery makes soft goat cheeses on the farm from its own herd of Alpine and LaMancha goats.
What the Tour Covers
A guide walks you round the farmstead, from goat care to the creamery and pastures. You meet the goats and hear how the year turns on a dairy goat farm. The tour ends in the farm store with a guided tasting of the cheeses, and you can buy your favourites there.
Booking
Book through the online calendar on the creamery's website. For groups of more than six, call or message the farm first; large groups are welcome with notice. Covered areas and spare umbrellas keep things going in wet weather. If you only want cheese, the creamery's website lists the restaurants and shops that stock it.
Getting There
Old Fort Road runs east of Black Mountain, about 30 minutes from Asheville by car. Black Mountain's small downtown is a good place for lunch afterwards.
Nearby
Black Mountain hosts the Carolina Mountain Cheese Festival each October. For more creameries see the WNC Cheese Trail.
