Going Costal: Back on the Pembs coast, after a busy weekend cooking up for the harvest festival.

It was lovely to be able to catch up with folks,
hopefully I will see you all again soon!

I am currently planning the last few pop-ups of 2025, with Birria Burritos coming on Saturday 25th October , the annual Baohaus in November and something a little different in the works ✌🏽

Cosy season is upon us. As of tomorrow, it is officially autumn.

On Tuesday, I headed out again along the Pembrokeshire coast, taking a 20k route along what has to be some of the most stunning scenery Cymru has to offer ( yes I remembered my coat this time round).

I have never walked a stretch of coastline so full of sloes in my entire existence!

Each bush is so heavy with fruit, literally bursting with deep blue spheres as big as plums!

I know traditionally I should wait for the first frosts, but the skins were already splitting; so it's the old freezer method for these giants!

I have been harvesting sloes now over the past few years from the diverse wild spaces we have here in Wales. Cataloguing the weather conditions harvest times (before or after frosts), size and locations the fruits have been harvested in. Mainly because I am intrigued by how these varying factors impact the flavour of the sloes.

This year marks my first Pembrokeshire batch, I am very tempted to do something a little more unconventional with these gargantuan blackthorn beauties.

Let the autumn experiments begin! 🍂🍁

Right then I think it's time for a break from social media. The thrill of chasing the algorithm has worn off and what I need now is a cold, hard dose of reality. I'm also going to be stepping back from The Green Goat pop up's for a little bit.

There have been some major changes that have shifted the course of my year. Plans are still in place, but trying to balance life around 3 jobs, everything life and all things goat is nudging me dangerously close to burn out, I know this feeling all too well and it is not going to get me again!

I wasn't sure about making this post but as I have had a lot of enquiries regarding up and coming events and my plans for the shop, I thought this may help shed some light on things for my valued customers.

I need a bit of breathing space to recalibrate things here at HQ and more importantly, to take care of myself and my boy.

I want to say a big thank you to those of you who turn up to support The Green Goat and also to those who of you who send such amazing feedback on the food, it really means the world! To the other businesses that have stocked my goods and shared my posts , those of you that have trusted me to cater for your special occasions. Also to those of you that have got hands on at Goaty events

Last week was full to the brim with berries. E & I started the week gathering a haul of wild strawberries & bilberries & also had our fill at a local PYO farm. What we didn't munch on the way back to Goaty HQ was turned into a yummy frozen custard. Again, keeping things simple; bringing out the best of the fruits natural flavour.

When life gives you Thai basil, make Pad Kra Pao (G*i).
This dish is most definitely in my top 10 comfort foods of all time. With sticky rice, fragrant stir fried chicken, green beans, holy basil & a crispy fried egg. This is a simple dish that slaps with flavour! What's your favourite comfort food?
