Vendor Spotlight: Faerie Springs Farm
Faerie Springs Farm is a small family run dairy that makes fresh pasteurized goat’s milk cheese. They milk around 35 goats twice a day, every day from February to December. Faerie Springs Farm has been with Westover Farmers Market since 2019!
Their goats health and happiness directly translates to the delicious product they love to bring to the farmers markets!
Their customers enjoy our endless
flavors, creamy goat milk feta and of course the weekly Goat Report, where their showcase the good, the bad and the ugly of their goat’s behavior for the week!
Their favorite part about being a vendor at the farmers market is the community and sharing funny goat stories!
Try their rotating flavors of Chevre, try something new each week!
And for those who took this weeks poll, their most popular flavor is Plain Chevre! You can’t argue with simple, delicious, chevre!
