Tucked away near Hungry Bay in Paget, Tucker's Farm is a small-scale goat dairy producing some of the most delicious goat cheese you will ever taste. With a happy herd of dairy goats raised on pasture, forage and hay, everything here is done in small batches, which shows up in the flavor.
Their signature product is a fresh goat cheese (often compared to chèvre) with a soft, creamy texture and a clean, tangy finish. It's simple, but done really well. You'll usually find a few variations, including a plain version, a herb blend and a spicier option made with hot peppers and a splash of Gosling's Black Seal Rum — easily one of the more memorable Bermuda-made foods to try.
Beyond the fresh cheese, they also produce a small range of more experimental and ripened cheeses. “Hay Jude” is a standout: a soft, surface-ripened cheese with a delicate rind and a richer, more complex flavor as it matures. You might also come across marinated “buttons” (small rounds of cheese preserved in oil with herbs) or other limited-run varieties depending on what's being made at the time.
This is the kind of product you'll often see featured on menus at local restaurants or stocked in select markets, especially where there's a focus on local ingredients. Availability can vary, so if you spot it, it's worth picking up. If you're looking to try something that's actually made on the island, not just branded that way, Tucker's Farm goat cheese is one of the easiest and most rewarding places to start.
