A recent article in the San Antonio Express News indicated that some San Antonio neighborhoods have become or are becoming hot markets. Those neighborhoods are located in the area of Fort Sam Houston and not too far from downtown. Here are some statistics for one of those neighborhoods - Dignowity. Other neighborhoods will be featured in future posts.
I tasted Gene Griesemer's goat cheese at the Grey Forest Farmers Market last spring. After years of eating the disappointing store-bought product, Gene's cheese was so refreshingly natural and delicious that I drove all the way to West Wind Dairy Goats in Seguin to buy more!
Gene makes fresh cheese every day, using milk he collects each morning from mainly Alpine goats he raises and cares for sustainably. (I had the pleasure of meeting the happy, healthy girls.) The cheese doesn't contain antibiotics or growth hormones, preservatives, coloring, or other modifiers. Organically-grown herbs and vegetables are used to make several excellent herbed flavors; be sure to taste all of them! My favorite is the plain goat cheese, which I like to eat the way people do in Provence: spread the cheese on a piece of baguette (authentic baguette can be found at Whole Foods or Central Market) or on an unflavored cracker, salt very lightly, pour a drop or two of extra virgin olive oil (once again, choose a good quality oil), and put a fresh basil leaf on top.
The cheeses are available at several Farmers Markets in the area-Austin, Seguin, and San Marcos. Gene will also return to Grey Forest this year; look for him in June or July. Bon appétit!
