Pretty As A Picture!

Feeling lucky and appreciative. A right kindly woman is sure making Goat Hill look good! Susan Edel of SKE-daddle has written a piece about this past spring show. You can see the entire story and Susan’s amazing photography by going to her site! (click her name and blog above^)

Thank you, Susan.

There is also a video done by Charles Hurth that truly gives the flavor and feel of Goat Hill Fair. This has been shared on Goat Hill’s Facebook page.
Thanks to Charlie, too!

Success and How it Changes Us…

Take something; your passion – dream about it, make it reality! That bliss of yours takes shape with much nurturing. It becomes more than just an idea; it takes on a life and needs to be fed and eventually grows bigger. Now there is success!
Goat Hill Fair is our passion. The reality is we have grown – and we are extremely HAPPY about our growth! So Cyndi Garofalo is taking Goat Hill to the fair!! Literally! Beginning this November 2013 you will find our end of season event at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds! Then back to the hill for SPRING!

A barn, and warmth for November ~

Pastures and goats in spring!

Other changes are being made as I send out this post! Please know that you may not be able to access our website on wordpress at http://www.goathillfair.com. That growth of our Goat Hill Fair (as detailed above^) also has us creating, nurturing and expanding on our site. As with all things – change is sometimes a hard path to follow… PLEASE, have patience – grow with us – continue to follow us on Facebook! Tell your friends about us and add them to our "growing” list of friends!! If you have questions send us a message there, or email at: cyndi_garofalo@yahoo.com.

Check back here and find the all new site within the next few weeks!! So happy to have you along as we spread our limbs…

Opening Day Success

Goat Hill Fair opened for the Spring 2013 event yesterday – Saturday, May 18th. Again – today, Sunday May 19th – we are inviting you inside the gates of the Yoder Farm! Come see us! We’re a vintage, collectibles, repurposed, painted, shabby, creative, artistic SALE. We’ve still got lots to share – even though yesterday was quite a success!

 

 

There’s much more to us than just vintage treasure! We have speakers, and demonstrations. On Sunday, we have Vicki Petulla – of The Creeping Fig doing a demo on planting in vintage vessels (urns, trophy cups, etc).

 

 

For the first time, we’ll help you remember the pleasure of visiting Goat Hill – go on over to our photo booth and have a “postcard” style shot taken with your friends!! Have loads of fun & laughs!

 

 

Enjoy our picnic spaces while you sit down with your lunch! We have two distinctly different food vendors – one at the farmhouse, and one in the orchard! Please get a little something from each! The frozen yogurt bars are handmade (in the orchard at Homegrown Specialties)… great to cool you down. The BBQ by Ryan Metighe is fabulous!

 

 

We’re READY again…  see you at the front entrance – 10:00 am Sunday!

 

 

Nothing Could Be Finer….

Open for business….

Awake with the goats. Tents brimming with treasure. Food on the grill. Speakers, demos and BIG giveaway at the ready. Nothing could be finer than the weather we expect…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You’ll be in vintage heaven when you arrive! And the scenery aint bad either!!

 

 

 

We hope that you’ll vote us the best little show ….

 

 

 

Nearly There

Hello all!!

Goat Hill Fair is becoming a vintage marketplace as we speak. Most of our vendors are in their tents and working away to create the beauty that they so easily seem to do! Come and see for yourself what Goat Hill is all about!!

Fair Food

You know how the term “fair food” rings nostalgic and makes one think of corn dogs and fried-everything at your local county fair? In this instance we’re talking about the food available to our guests at Goat Hill FAIR. From morning delights to late afternoon snacks you’ll be able to please your palate.  We’ve never had trouble filling the tummies of those who visit; even those who sell ~

 

 

 

Basket-fulls, or a cone.  SAnDWichEs, SaLaDs, SOdas, SwEEts!!!  YUMMY….

 

As mentioned, near to the steps at the farmhouse you will find: Handheld Catering {by Ryan Metighe}. The food out of this kitchen is sure to knock your socks off…..

Offerings and vendors may differ from some of these images – rest assured though, you will love the goodies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Spring event has an entire group of amazing women that will offer homemade goods. Some canned, jarred items for purchase to take home,  and also bits-’n- bites for all day munching! Cheeses, jams, homemade ice cream too! This is Homegrown Specialties and you will find them in Space 30 – in the orchard.

The gals that you will find mixed in at different times, between the two days are:  Not every vendor will be selling during the entire show.

They were forming Goat Hill all together…
