]]> There you are driving along enjoying the mountain views and trying to ignore whatever the kids are doing in the backseat when the clamor becomes a little louder, “Those are sheep!” and “No they aren’t. It was goats on that roof. Dad, tell her that goats have horns.”

P1010956

What? Indeed there are goats on the roof. This little place makes a great pit stop on your way north. There is specialty coffee for the adults and the kids can get a little exercise pedaling the stationary bicycle that moves a cup of goat food up to the roof.

Under that roof is seasonal produce, gourmet-farm goodies, ice cream and fudge, local produce, Georgia-made cheese and Ohio-farm produced jellies, even wines with goat-themed names. Upstairs where the restrooms are you’ll find a showroom of Amish made furniture.  Goats On the Roof is located at 3026 Hwy. 441 South in Clayton. They can be found on line (with an imaginative explanation for the presence of the goats on the roof) at www.tigergoats.com.
