Goatober is 16 years old! October is the natural season for goat meat, and as we have for over a decade, we are proud to feature cuts of goat as part of our effort to celebrate just how delicious goat meat is.

Anne Saxelby was America’s first all domestic cheesemonger. Her lovely shop connected the New York City public to rural communities and dairies where she learned about a predicament for goat cheese makers — since females are the milk producers there is hardly any need for males. Thus, Anne conceived Goatober and wove a virtuous web of farmers and chefs to make it happen – a seasonal celebration of goat meat from male goats who spent happy lives foraging in the woods! Sixteen years later the project continues thanks to the rolling hilly pastures of Shannon Creek Farm in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Shop goat in its natural season — goats are traditionally born in the Spring and ready for harvest in October! Every nose-to-tail cut is juicy, earthy, clean, nourishing and fulfilling.

Goat Shoulder
Those who experience goat for the first time marvel at how bright, lean, and floral it is. This roast is the perfect hearty addition to winter and spring meals, or is incredible cooked low and slow on the grill.

Goat Ribs
Truly one of the most luscious cuts, the bone-in belly is a full-flavored experience, moist, and boasting layers of silky fat.

Goat Rack
The rack of goat has a small eye, but the meat is succulent, delicious, lean, and floral. The rack is the most elegant cut, ideal as the centerpiece for an intimate dinner party worthy of royalty.

Goat Ground
Simply one of the most versatile and tasty treats in the meat world, prepared as burgers, meatballs, or as a rustic ragu for pasta, not to mention the main ingredient in the best chili we have ever tasted.

  • Humanely raised on pasture
  • Antibiotic and hormone free
  • Raised by independent family farmers
  • Heritage breeds have more marbling resulting in more tender and juicy meat
Farm
Shannon Creek Farm – Manhattan, Kansas

Joseph Hubbard is one of the youngest farmers in the Heritage Foods network. Joseph learned the art of farming from his family and raises sheep and goats on the vast Flint Hill pastures around Manhattan, Kansas.

The Flint Hills, a band of hills in eastern Kansas stretching into North Central Oklahoma, is a region that is not good for plant agriculture, but ideal for pasture raised animals. This ecological region is where the most dense coverage of intact tallgrass prairie can be found in North America including Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Indiangrass, Switchgrass, Prairie Dropseed, and Sideoats Grama. These tallgrass varieties are responsible for producing the tastiest grass fed animals on the planet.

Joseph raises multiple breeds of lamb for different reasons: Katahdin for their multiple birth and high growth rate, St. Croix for the natural tannin in their gut that wards off parasites and White Dorper for their muscling. Joseph is also a major producer for our Goatober Project and has been growing meat goats for Heritage Foods for almost a decade! His primary breed is the Boer goat. The Boer or Boerbok is a South African breed of meat goat. It was selectively bred in the Eastern Cape from about 1920. It has been exported to many countries, and has been used to improve the meat qualities of other breeds.
