Udderly Ridiculous goat’s milk ice cream makers invite you to experience farm life
Bright, Ontario — After winning over ice cream lovers and food industry experts with their all-natural alternative to cow dairy, the makers of award-winning Udderly Ridiculous Goat's Milk Ice Cream invite lockdown-weary Ontarians to unplug and recharge by experiencing a taste of farm life.
Cheryl and Greg Haskett are welcoming people to their third-generation Oxford County farm near Bright, Ont. for an Udderly Ridiculous farm tourism experience that's fun, educational and COVID-safe.
The public can now pre-book Udderly Ridiculous Farm Life activities, which include Goat Yoga, Goat Recess (an opportunity to mingle with the goats), Alpaca Encounters and Alpaca Farm Walks.
"We're very excited to open our gates and invite Ontario families to experience a taste of life on the farm, to reconnect with the land and to get to know some of our zany goats and other animal friends," said Cheryl, who founded Udderly Ridiculous in 2018.
Since then, Udderly Ridiculous has scooped major recognition like the 27th Canadian Grand Prix New Product Awardand inspired food lovers across Ontario with their irresistible combination of gourmet flavours and all-natural, easy-to-digest goodness. Goat's milk ice cream is perfect for lactose-sensitive stomachs, plus it's richer in protein and healthy fatty acids with less sugar than ice cream made from cow's milk.
In January, Udderly Ridiculous was named one of the winners of the Oxford County Spark Program pitch competitionaimed at fostering and supporting new sustainable tourism ideas, experiences and partnerships in the region. The competition, which provided start-up funding and mentoring to the winners, inspired Cheryl and Greg to diversify the business by branching out into Ontario's $1.2-billion agritourism sector.
"We're thrilled to share our passion for our amazing goats — and for farming — with the public," said Cheryl. "We're inviting everyone to enjoy the fruits of our hard work and help share the good news about Ontario agriculture."

PlantForm signs MOU to bring Classical Swine Fever (CSF) vaccine to global markets
GUELPH, Ont. – Canadian biotech innovator PlantForm Corporation, Bioapp Inc. and POSCO International of South Korea have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate in bringing the world’s first plant-based vaccine for Classical Swine Fever (CSF) to global markets.
Although harmless to humans, CSF is a highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic pigs and wild boar populations, causing severe illness and death in millions of swine each year. While Canada, the United States and much of western Europe are currently free of the disease, CSF outbreaks have devastating animal welfare and economic impacts and the disease is endemic to regions of Central and South America, Asia and Africa.
“This is an important milestone for PlantForm as we continue to expand into new markets and explore new opportunities for plant-made pharmaceuticals generally and for our versatile vivoXPRESS® platform,” said Dr. Don Stewart, PlantForm President and CEO. “PlantForm is proud to partner with Bioapp and POSCO for this project to provide an effective, low-cost vaccine to combat CFS and to improve animal health and welfare in the agriculture sector.”
