Summer has been amazing, and as the days begin to shorten, we find ourselves embracing every moment of delicious sunshine. Stop by to enjoy our Artisan ice Cream (in 13 flavors), no refined sugar, and oh so delicious. We have had two calves so far, with six more coming in the next few months. We will be stocking up on cheese to age during the Winter, making our selection next year better than ever. Thank you to everyone who is coming to the farm for our monthly events. There are still a few more this year, so don’t miss them. You can register online in the STORE section. We are grateful to be serving our local community.
Stay in touch, see you around the store. Thanks for supporting your local artisan creamery. We are grateful you are here.
This is where we process the milk. We have a small bulk tank to cool and stir the fresh milk. The 40-gallon kettle is where we heat the milk to make our cheese. We press the cheeses in large 30 lb wheels and then brine or salt and age them in a humidity and temperature-controlled room.
How to Care for your Creamery items.
Let’s start with cheese. You will want to eat fresh cheeses within the week; they are not designed for storage. Those would be ricotta and Queso Fresco (fresh basket cheese). For aged cheeses, they will store well in the vacuum packages they come in, and once opened, you want to minimize exposure to air. So you can always vacuum seal it if possible or wrap it tightly. If any mold appears, you can easily cut it off; it will only be on the surface. You can also freeze cheese for later use.
Yogurt is a fermented food that lasts a couple of weeks. If you only have a small portion left, put it in a smaller container so that, once again, it is less exposed to air.
Butter is kept well refrigerated. If you leave it out, cut off a small portion so it doesn’t sit at room temperature for too long.
Our eggs are not washed as we have rolling nesting boxes, so they are clean when collected. They can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Our milk and cream are sold the day we milk or make them. If stored in the refrigerator, they will last a week. If you have any questions, please reach out. We are here to ensure you enjoy your fresh, raw creamery items.
