Frequently Asked Questions
Do they make cheese?
Indeed we do! Our in house milk magician is Dan Posselt. He's a real wizard with his craft.
We are an affineur. Many of our cheeses we'll age out for an extended amount of time, some even well beyond 8 years!
We also will do different enhancements to the cheese. Either by layering our cheese, giving it a nice smoke, bathing the wheels, or more!
Basically, we have our hand in the cheese in some way by the time it's on our table and reaches you.
What type of Rennet is used in your cheese?
Ah, the cheese alchemy secret! We've got two types of rennet in our cheesemaking toolbox: Animal and Microbial (Vegetarian) Rennet. Most of our cheese is crafted with the magic of Microbial Rennet, while a select few use Animal Rennet (Animal Rennet / Raw Milk Cheeses)
Oh, and fun fact: even our House Aged Buttermilk Bleu dances to the tune of Vegetarian Rennet, despite being made with raw milk. Raw milk = animal rennet; pasteurized milk = vegetarian rennet. Easy peasy, cheesy!
Are the cows 100% grass-fed? How are the cows treated?
Our cheese VIPs, like the Pleasant Ridge Reserve, are indeed made from 100% grass-fed milk by the fine folks at the Creamery. They keep it old-school, following traditions passed down through centuries.
As for our other cheeses, they enjoy a special blend of both grass-fed and grain-fed goodness. Our cows are living the high life, receiving top-notch nutrients and the royal treatment. Happy cows make the best milk, and our blessed cheesemakers know it!
Do you use Hormones or Antibiotics?
Absolutely not! We're all about clean, pure milk. Every drop we use is hormone (rBST/rBGH) and antibiotic-free. Your cheese deserves nothing less!
Do you sell dairy-free cheese?
While we don't have vegan-made cheeses, we've got a delightful surprise for our lactose-intolerant pals. Goat and Sheep milk cheeses are often considered dairy-free alternatives! 🎉 Check out our selection HERE for some fantastic options to satisfy your cheesy cravings. 🥳
Do you have a physical store?
Nope! We don't have an official brick-and-motar store. Farmers Markets are our bread and butter, and we really love meeting you, in your local community!
However! If you can't meet us at the market, then you can shop on our website. We can ship anywhere in the lower 48 states!
Live locally? Passing Through? We now offer Pick Ups. Select the day and time slot that best works for you and we'll have your order ready!
