What's up Tangerineys! We're super stoked because today. What's happening? We
are goat-ing (play on words) to show you a tour of a goat farm.
Goating. And so, first of all, get ready for
the puns. A-Cabra-mos Comiensa el tour.
Spanish pun. Oh yeah, it's about to go down!
It's about to go down.
We're here in Mezcala. Close to Mezcala Island, close to
the town of Mezcala. But up on the mountain.
We just took two cars here. Picked up by Galo de Allende. That is the company, a couple
who is showing us a tour of this place. The goats, the goat milk, the cheese, the
deliciousness, some wine at the end. I think. And it looks like they have a
gorgeous property here. Goat-goeus.
Terrible! Oh man. Just stop.
[Laughter] Cut it out. But you know we have the view of the mountains behind us, and the whole,
I mean a spectacular view of the lake. And of course, the goats, which is why
we're all here
These are their goat-herding dogs!
[Laughter] His tongue's hanging out!
Wo we just had a really great breakfast with fresh fruit and goat yogurt. Goat-gurt.
It's a super windy day today but we're getting started with the tour. I'm super
excited to feed the goats, pet the goats, so let's goat goat goat! If you like How I Met
Your Mother, you're gonna get that one. [Laughter]
These are the plum leaves.
Grabbing to feed them.
[Laughter]
Come on!
What about the plum. Who wants the plum?
[Laughter]
You have a long neck!
Mmm mmm mmm
Oh man! [Laughter]
Yum yum.
[Laughter]
What do you think of this? [Laughter]
I think it's really entertaining! [Laughter]
Look at all these goats! Ah! Oh my gosh!
[Laughter] Oh, you can't get enough because you have long horns, antlers.
Is that one you call these things?
Tug of goat!
You having fun yet? Yes! Look at these little guys!
Oh my gosh, Jordan! [Laughter] He's gonna get you!
Does he say "not by the hairs of my chinny-chin-chin"?
[Laughter]
As you can smell, there's a certain smell. It's the nature perfume of Beto.
What was that?
[Maddie imitating goats]
So is there anything about this
that surprises you so far? About the goats?
They're all really hungry!
[Laughter] They're coming!
So now, the goats have been released,
And are walking around jumping up on each other now!
To get to what's in the tree to eat it. [Laughter] Hungry!
These little fellas, they eat the goat manure.
They digest and then they give us the
worm castings. I need it for fertilizing all the flowers, trees, grass.
So as we're learning on this tour so far, it's a pretty completely sustainable
business where they're using everything from the manure, to the trees on the land,
and the fruit. It's only a few years old, this property is. Well, obviously the property has been around a long time. The land!
The business is only a few years old.
And just a few years ago. Oh my gosh! Few years, few years, few
years #fewyears. It was like totally overrun by vegetation and they
had to do a lot of. How long ago was that? A few years. [Laughter]
They had to do tons of work to clear it out and build the walls around here.
They were telling us that depending on what they feed the goats,
the tastes of the goat's cheese, and milk, and the color of it, will change. So if
they feed them lots of carrots, it will be more orange, and have a different
taste. They like to feed them lots of plums because it gives them a little bit
of a sweeter taste. And less of a goaty taste. [Laughter]
Go get 'em! Goat get 'em.
Goat get 'em! [Laughter]
Are you goating to guide me?
What you got there? Ahhh! [Laughter]
A plum and a dog. These are the ripe plums that the goats love! So we're gonna
try one.
Oh it's juicy!
Very juicy! How do you like it?
It's pretty good, but dang. The outside is kind of like an apple.
and the inside is much sweeter. This is so sweet!
I've never tried a plum like this before.
Yeah it's totally different than any
plum I've ever had. Juicy, kind of like a soft mushy inside.
But not in a bad way. Mmm! So one of the really cool things
about this property is that they're feeding the goats from hundred percent
of the plants and trees they have here. Like something like 50 to 56 plum trees.
Moringa trees that we have behind, and then grass that they're growing.
Everything is 100% organic. No chemicals, no pesticides. And if they have to give
them antibiotics for a sickness, they stop producing milk during that time
until it is completely out of their system, which i think is really cool.
[Laughter]
So I think we're most of the way through the tour.
We still have wine tasting and goat cheese
tasting left. What do you think of it so far? Well as soon as they let the goats
out, I'll be honest, I was super distracted and not able to listen to
totally everything that was going on. Just looking at them eating and headbutting each
other. [Laughter] It's really entertaining, how about you? Yeah, it's pretty cool. There's
a lot more to it than I thought there would be. Yeah. But besides petting zoos, I
don't think I've ever spent any time around goats. And they definitely have
more personality and character than I was expecting! At petting zoos, I remember
them being more tame. Yeah. Here, they're like "give me all your food!"
Coming right up. They're definitely used to
people. They were telling us that the babies, especially the younger ones like
being around people. They're more social. But yeah, lots more personality and this
has been a lot of fun! Like, yeah. I don't know, I wasn't expecting anything. It's
been a good time! And it's not over yet!
Just like a cat or dog. Yeah, just like that.
Awe!
Smile!
Bobby!
[Laughter]
If you want to move, go!
Awe!
Now she wants one.
[Laughter]
Jalapeño. We have jalapeño jam.
Jalapeño jam?
So we just got done with this tour, what did you think?
This was pretty cool! And I
was a fan of goat cheese before but I've never had one that was this good. And I
am NOT a fan of goat cheese because I think it tastes funky and goaty as they
described. But this was, I was pleasantly surprised that this did not have that
very when I described as "pungent goat taste." It was like sweet
They had a chip-goat-le (Chipotle) cheese. But she just can't stop with the
puns. I can't. [Laughter]
But this tour was super cool! I think it's really worth the money in my
opinion. Yeah, 450 pesos for adults and then the price goes
down for students and kids. We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming with
a message from the future! [Laughter]
We loved that goat cheese, both of us liked it. Which is
a shock to me. So we have to go get some today.
So we're on our way to do that.
Yes! We are walking to the Monday organic market. No the Tuesday one.
Yes, yes. In Ajijic.
You can eat cheese now!
Puedes? Yes, you can. Ah, yes. I can eat cheese now in Mexico.
Before traveling in Mexico, I couldn't eat
Cheese, eggs, butter. All animal products.
Because, I had a bunch of allergies and health issues. So it's actually kind of
cool that we can even be on our way to go buy something like this! Because I
don't have the reactions to food anymore that I did in the US. Many of you who
have been around for a long time probably know that I'm dealing with
extreme mercury toxicity, so no, we have no idea how this got in my body. But I
have tons and tons of mercury which has partly caused all these health problems.
So anyway, I've been on a detox protocol for a while. But one of the amazing
things about being in Mexico, is that the food is more natural. It has less
pesticides, it's less GMO as far as we can tell.
And I do not have the reactions
That I had to food in the US. So that's kind of an incredible thing! We get asked
pretty frequently, how we've learned Spanish? And we always recommend learning
as many ways as possible. But, if we could only recommend one program, it would be
rocket languages. We've been using that for quite a while, we really like it
because it's a very thorough program, and it has tons of ways for you to learn!
Because we like them so much, we became an affiliate. If you make a purchase
through our affiliate link, we will end up getting a nice little chunk of change
from that. Which ends up helping us travel more places.
We have a few fun places coming up, that we're still finalizing. So
we will tell you guys. We're not gonna keep you on the hook forever. But we want
to make sure that they're actually going to happen before we say they're going to happen. And
then have to go back on that. So making purchases like this, and giving us,
Helping us get a little bit of commission, helps us plan these trips
more extensively than just staying in one city at a time. Because, of course,
Travel is pretty expensive, and you keep hitting me with these bottles! Sorry. Here
let me get on this side. How did this help!?!
Oh shit. [Laughter] You are ridiculous!
It's still on, it's been on this whole time. So Jordan's hitting me with this bag of bottles we're
Taking to the Tuesday market. He's like "okay, I got it, I'll just, you can switch
to the other side." He switched the bag to the side that I'm supposed to be on. [Laughter] I
haven't had very much coffee this morning! Oh my gosh! Anyway we're gonna
put the link to rocket languages down below in the description. Whether you
purchase from our link or not, it will be the same price, but it does help us out a
little bit. So if you choose to do that, thank you! [Laughter]
Alrighty, so we just got our queso. Some chip-goat-le, chipotle, and then herbs and spices. I'm pretty
excited to try this other one! They were both 55 pesos each. Now, we're going
to time travel back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I'd recommend this
Goat tour, it's pretty unforGOATable. More with the goat puns.
We do have a few recGOATmendations for you. Oh gosh!
Hi guys! So can you help me tell some people what they might need to know about this?
For instance, wear good shoes, wear sunscreen, and you're going you're goating
to have a pretty goat time.
And do you have any recGOATmendations? Don't let them
eat your hat! Or hair. One tried to eat my hat.
Hat, hair, sunglasses, shiny things, beard. Beard, yeah. They have these
tours every weekend, so go check out their website, check out their Facebook.
Goat check out their website. No, I'm not doing any more goat puns!
Goat check out their Facebook. No more goat puns! We've had too many!
And we'll put the link down below for that. Thank you guys for joining us on this goat
tour. We absolutely recommend checking it out if you're looking for something to
do around the Lake Chapala area.
Very worthwhile! If you liked this video, give
it a thumbs up and please subscribe to our channel! [Laughter] You're goating to see more
videos if you do that. And!
GONG THAT BELL. So you get notified the next time we have more bad puns.
And we're goat-ing to see you there!
