I like you, goat, but you're freaking me out.

Nested amongst the locally-produced cheeses and raw milks of the Greensgrow Farm Market's refrigerator is a pint container of Shellbark Hollow goat's milk yogurt, so pure and inviting to the lactose-challenged locavore.

Poured over grilled fruit for breakfast — especially the late season Lancaster peaches — the refreshingly tart yogurt is silky on the tongue, with just a hint of chevre flavor. Once breakfast is over, I realize the unadorned yogurt would make a convincing doppelganger for sour cream, crème fraiche and a base for a seriously legitimate spinach dip.

Beets roasted in sea salt and thyme get a dollop of goat yogurt for richness and acid, and the fantasy is complete. The Nubian herd of Shellbark Hollow may have creepy satanic rectangular pupils, but I'd kiss their little kid heads anyway.

Get over to Greensgrow Farm Market at 2501 E. Cumberland St. in Kensington and raid their fridge. Bring your own box to haul away amazing urban vegetables. Market hours are Thu., 2-7 and Sat., 9-3.

Shellbark Hollow Goat's Milk Yogurt is $5.75 for a 16-ounce container.
