ave established Elodie Farms in October 2000 with eight goats, a few chickens, Ike the dog and Martha the cat. He made his first batch of chevre goat cheese in the spring of 2002, and his products have appeared on the menus of Durham’s finest restaurants and on the dining room tables of home chefs ever since. In May, Dave sold his farm to Ted Domville, who fell in love with Dave’s products at Six Plates (now Black Twig Cider House) when he served as a chef. Dave is in the process of moving to South Carolina, and Ted is now preparing to take over the herd and learn the art of cheesemaking. We asked Dave to reflect a bit on his time as goat farmer, cheesemaker and businessman.
