Dragonfly Days

It’s March already and Dragonfly Farm is abuzz with delightful newnesses.

Jacquie has created five new flavours of Alpine Goat’s Cheese, they’re delightful AND delicious - Wasabi, Tomato & Herb, Cranberry, Tarragon and Shiraz. Truly yummy!


Our cheeses are being stocked in a myriad of new places all over the country – so you’ll be able to experience these new tastes as soon as you’re able to get to your closest stockist. (Or contact us if you can’t find one close to you.)

• We’re at the Stanford Evening Market on the last Friday of every month and at the Portersville Market in Tokai every Saturday.
• In KZN you can find our cheeses at the Shongweni Farmer’s Market, the Heritage Market in Hillcrest and at Palmco.
• Haricots Deli and Bistro at the River Bend Lodge in Grahamstown is stocking our cheese now, as well as two shops in the Western Cape - Kwalapa in the Montbello Craft Centre in Newlands and Jane’s Delicious Deli in Somerset West. 

We have loads of new fans – especially after attending the Lourensford Estate Family Market in February. It’s wonderful seeing goats cheese lovers discovering our cheeses for the first time.

We also have some new family members on the farm, a mummy pig and her babies have decided to come and live with us. We’ve asked around the village but nobody seems to know where they came from. They came strolling down the driveway one morning and have never left.

We suspect that it may be because word has spread that our farm is a sanctuary for animals as there is NO slaughtering allowed.

Mrs Pig and her babes, Hansel and Gretel, have brought a new dimension to farm life and work hard to earn their keep. They’re fantastic at turning and working the compost making a valuable contribution to our permaculture approach to farming.

They have also inspired us to start planning a Goat Sanctuary where animal lovers can sponsor a goat on Dragonfly Farm (you can come and visit it too). We just cannot bring ourselves to sell tame male goats off to be used in sacrificial rituals and we cannot afford to keep all of them ourselves. Once we’ve devised a plan we’ll let you know.

We will be at the Fresh Produce Market (Rhodes High School, Mowbray) for the Cape Town Taste Festival from the 24th to 28th March, the Cheese Festival in April and the Good Food and Wine Show in May. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Until next time...
