Family and Future makes wholesome treats you can feel good about bringing home to your loved ones. All of our chocolate bars, nut butters and fudges are organic, dairy free, sweetened without cane sugar, and made completely from scratch. Steven Lambeth started this business so he could still eat sweets while on a restricted diet and has since grown with a vision of both supporting starting a family with his wife and wanting to align with a more sustainable future. We only use fair-trade cacao to support more ethical food systems and, when possible, use compostable or reusable packaging to help minimize waste.

Dearest Goat Cheese Lovers, try our Plain Logs! Here we have our Plain goat cheese with some pickled beets, white onions (red onions would be a better choice), spinach and some balsamic vinaigrette. If I could add anything it would have been some orange anything (zest, juice, slices), I’ll leave that choice to you.  

We have a selection of goats milk items handcrafted with love in Siler City, NC! At our booth you'll find a rainbow of flavors displaying our spreadable cheeses, nestled in among our pure chevrè, aged bloomy rind cheeses, yogurts, gelato, fudge, and even soaps. As NC's pioneer farmstead goat dairy, we've been treating all our goats like celebrities since 1991, and strive to do the same for our customers! Help us limit contact and keep each other safe during market transactions by placing pre-orders through our website, https://celebritydairy.com/preorder! 

Spreadable flavor for October: Cranberry Spread

Lots of love from your cheese-makers,

 Elizabeth, Monica, Kelly, Ina & the Goats

We tend to think of hair as being long slender strands, perhaps curly. In fact, most animal hair has a central shaft with small barbs on it that lie flat but can flare out if the hair is agitated or moistened. The wool of sheep or the soft inner fur of a beaver’s coat can be laid out in a mat a few inches thick, and by a combination of beating and wetting, cause the small barbs to interlock making felt, perhaps the oldest cloth.

Honey bees also have much hair on their bodies, also barbed. For the bee, this serves the purpose of collecting pollen grains, most of which they can comb off their bodies with bristles on the first two pairs of legs, compress into a ball with a special pollen press in a joint on their hind legs, and then pack for storage in a “pollen basket” on the hind leg. This is formed by stiff hairs surrounding a smooth depression on the leg. The bee has many other specialized hairs as for example the sensory hairs of the antennae which are organs of taste and smell and can do other things such as measure wind speed.

  I interact with bee hairs because over the years I’ve become mildly allergic to the invisible cloud of them that rises up out of a hive when they fan. O well.
