I had occasion to visit The Goat Farm on 12 March to see Klimchak perform CooksNotes, his show that combines music with cooking. The music and the food were excellent.
While there, I took a few photos of the surrounding buildings. For those not familiar with The Goat Farm, it’s a creative complex in a 19th Century mill along the edge of downtown Atlanta.
I like to joke that it’s still in the same condition Sherman left it, though it was actually constructed after the Civil War when Atlanta was rebuilding.
Despite what one might surmise from the exterior, The Goat Farm has a thriving community of artists, covering dance, theater, and graphic arts, to name a few.

And yes, there really are goats.
How many goats are there right now?
There’s at least three or four. I saw them in a pen near the front last time I was there.
Good!
There are chickens, too.
