Goat meat


Goat meat has recently become somewhat of a staple of our diet here on the homestead and I am frequently asked "What does goat taste like?"

Well goat tastes like ...um.... Goat.

Here we use the highest quality goat meat from organic, free range, happy goats (yes, happy changes the flavor). If you look to the image on the left you can see the meat is a dark red color due to the goats getting exercise outdoors and living as goats should live. The meat is well marbled and quite tender and moist. Goat has a distinct and very pleasant flavor. If I had to describe it I would say that is it like a mild and tender venison. There is a good meaty flavor without the strong "wild" or gamey flavor deer often gets. Also due to the sedate lives our goats live the meat is very tender. Our goats run and play for their exercise and unlike deer, our goats never need to run for their lives and they always have enough to eat.

The goat in this image was used for a Muslim style yellow curry served over rice. Be sad you missed it.
