Farmstead Cheese
Our cheeses are made on the farm in small batches with milk from grass-grazing cows. We emphasize quality and cleanliness — visit us and see for yourself!
The process begins with excellent milk from our herd of predominately jersey cows. We milk seasonally, which means that we milk only from early spring through late fall and in the dead of winter we give our cows a break. In March and April our cows freshen, giving us beautiful calves, and a new cycle of milking and cheese making begins! Over the season, the cheese changes with the changes in grass and flora. Our cheeses, except for the brie, are made from our grass-fed raw milk. To learn more about raw milk go to: www.raw-milk-facts.com/.

Havilah
A hard, aged, Italian alpine style cheese that matures in our caves for a minimum of 6 months. Our cheesemakers begin making Havilah in mid-April when the grass is growing and the milk is flowing. This mouth watering, dense cheese has an earthy rind flavor accompanied by pineapple, citrus and caramel tones. The hardest of our cheeses, Havilah is perfect for grating on pasta or vegetables.
