Cure for the Turkey Coma

Take a break from leftovers and crowds at the mall and treat yourself and your family to a drive in the country. Split Creek Farm is holding a holiday open house Saturday, November 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Known for their artisan goat cheese and goat milk fudge, they also carry Carolina rice, Timm's Mill grits and cornmeal, Bee Well honey, and gourmet dog biscuits.

Handmade jewelry, baskets, painted gourds and fiber art will be available from arts and crafts folks. And you can get the best goat cheese pizza from their country porch kitchen.

You also might want to check out Harmon's, a tree farm and Christmas House. Enjoy a free train or hay ride, hot chocolate or cider while you pick out your perfect tree.

Pass the Cheese...and Truffles?

I found it! Split Creek Farm home to 400 goats is located in Anderson, SC. They recently brought home more awards than any other competitor from the American Dairy Goat Association's national cheese competition. The farm's newest gold medal winner, a goat milk truffle, is made using the farm's milk and butter and is hand dipped by CocoBon Chocolatier (also in Anderson). P.S. they also make darn good fudge.

They will be holding a holiday open house on Saturday, November 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST.

I also came across this South Carolina iMix, which was great fun to listen to during the drive...
