"Goat cheese" Stolpen Shopping Tip by german_eagle

There is a goat ranch with about 100 animals in Lauterbach, about 2 km northeast of Stolpen. All their products are organic (bio in German). Upon request you can get a tour of the ranch or watch the cheesemaking. In their little shop you can buy other organic vegetables and products also. Opening hours of the shop: Tuesday and Friday 2 pm - 6 pm.

Twice or so per year (I went on the first weekend in May) they have a big yard festival which is very enjoyable. You can walk around on the grounds, in the stable, there is live music, freshly cooked food (yummy baked goat cheese!), cakes and coffee/tea in the vaulted hall of the old farmhouse, craftsmen presenting their works (blacksmith, potter e.g.) and of course you can buy their products. Kids love the goats, the horse-drawn carriage rides and the games.

What to buy: Several kinds of goat cheese - pure, with herbs, fruits etc. Goat milk, sometimes meat and sausages. Organic veggies from nearby farms. Other organic products like chocolate, müesli.

What to pay: About 2 Euro per 100 g cheese. Fresh goat milk is 1.75 Euro per litre.
