Spring 2006
Animal science
and nutrition graduate Evin Evans celebrated the 20th anniversary
of Split Creek Farm, her Grade A goat dairy and cheese plant, by
winning a top national award. The dairy’s “Feta
in Olive Oil” won best in show in the prestigious national cheese
competition at the American Dairy Goat Association’s 2005 annual
meeting.
Split Creek Farm in Anderson, co-owned by Pat Bell, is home to approximately
350 goats. The operation has won numerous gold medals in national competitions
for cheese, milk and fudge.
The farm — which welcomes tours and other visitors — includes
milking and cheese operations, a kid nursery and two gift shops featuring
goat milk products and award-winning folk art (www.splitcreek.com).
Evans has been a valuable volunteer to Clemson Extension’s goat
educational program in the Upstate for youths and adults. Split Creek
