Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship[gentle upbeat music] I'm here with Clare Reding, operations manager for Celebrity Dairy.
Clare, these little goats are so, so cute.
- [Clare] They're super cute.
- I love 'em.
[Clare laughs] Tell me a little bit about the story of Celebrity Dairy.
- So Celebrity Dairy is owned by Brit and Fleming Pfann.
It's been a working goat dairy for over 40 years.
We're on 340 acres.
And so Fleming realized that after her whole life not being able to have cow protein that she could, in fact, have goat milk.
So she got two goats, and here we are 40 years later with over 100 goats and making all these wonderful cheese products.
- And lots of cheese products, but there's a special name for goat cheese, isn't there?
- Chevre.
- Chevre - Chevre, it's very fancy.
- I'm here with Ina Lee, a cheese-maker here at Celebrity Dairy.
Ina, how many different kinds of cheeses have you got?
Tell me about these.
- Okay.
Well, we make about four different kinds, ranging from soft cheeses to drier cheeses.
We do logs, which is our drier cheese, and we have about 10 different flavors just of these.
And they're good for like crumbling on salads or cooking with.
- Okay, that's my speed.
I love 'em on salads.
- Oh, they're good.
And then we also do a softer cheese, which we consider to be spreads, and we have anywhere between 15 to 20 different flavors of these.
They come in so many different- - A tapenade.
You've got jalapeno.
- We even have a chocolate cheese.
- [Deborah] A chocolate one.
- Yes.
- That's different.
- [Ina] Oh, yeah, it's different, good on pretzels.
- Okay.
- But these are good for like dipping or spreading on sandwiches.
Okay, this is called skyr.
It's a softer cheese.
It has a consistency of yogurt or sour cream.
- Mm.
- So it's good in cooking.
It's also good in making smoothies.
- Can I just put fruit on it?
- Oh, absolutely.
We have it... We do drain it so we can make it a little thicker.
So, adding fruit, honey, all the good stuff to really, really... And it's a really good probiotic.
It's very healthy.
We also do make fudge, and, yes, it's made out of goat's milk.
- [Deborah] This farm also has llamas, right?
- We do.
We have two llamas, Annie and Andrew.
Andrew's a our 20-year-old llama.
They are here as our herd guardians.
They protect the goats from coyotes and predators, and they parole the perimeter, and nothing gets by 'em.
- [Deborah] What's something about goats that most people don't know?
- That they will steal your heart right out from under you.
- Yeah, they will.
This one's got my heart.
Yes, you do.
- Yes.
[Deborah laughs] - So, Clare, where can people find Celebrity Dairy farm cheeses?
- [Clare] Oh, we're at many of the local farmer's markets, Carrboro, downtown Durham, Pittsboro, Southern Pines, Fearrington, and soon to be Sanford.
- [Deborah] Wonderful, well, I can't wait to try some.
- We're also in the Weaver Street Market, Durham Co-op, and several local restaurants.
- Aw, thank you so much for sharing your little family of goats with us.
- Oh, no problem.
I'll check your purse before you leave.
[Deborah laughs] - Celebrity Dairy is at 144 Celebrity Dairy Way in Siler City.
