Excursion for everybody at the Zerlina goat farm in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm

TAKE A LOOK BEHIND FARM GATE

Are you interested in how it works on a Wallachian family farm? We will be happy to welcome you and let you take a peek into our stable, of course we will also throw in some wisdom:) The content of the excursion is always tailored to the group, the weather and your time.

What you will learn and try?

History of our homestead
Why we decided to breed brown shorthaired goats and what other animals you can see on the farm
A short farmer´s review – how much does a goat milk, how is the courtship with the groom, births of baby goats, does a goat have a sweet tooth
Let’s take a look at the tractor or self-sufficiency with our own fodder and fields
And, Mommy, where do the cheeses come from? The milk’s journey to the final product
Beware the herding dog in action! Driving out the herd followed by a demonstration of the work of our border collies.
And here comes the tasting! For the gourmets we have cheese-ripened delicacies, for the suspicious we have more delicate fresh cheese. For the little ones, goat cocoa. All this in the pleasant surroundings of the farm shop.

Activities at fixed time

Demonstrations of milking, feeding and driving the herd to pasture are given times in order to maintain the schedule of the goat herd in the FIXED TIME.

Excursion with workshop for schools

After greeting, we prepare the milk for cheese production, sieve it and let it work. In the meantime, we will visit the stables, talk about ruminants, their breeding, nature and making the most of everything nature gives us. We’ll look at farm machinery and talk about forage processing. We will also look into the milking parlour and the braver ones can try to milk a goat. Then we’ll return to process the curdled milk, cut up the curds, fill them into molds and let them drip. Finally, we get to sample goat cheese and other products. Finally, we’ll pack the semi-hot cheese to go for you to drip and salt. You can still remember us the next day over fresh, homemade cheese. In case of bad weather, you must have your own umbrella or solid boots.
