We make our cheese in small batches in our farmstead kitchen with milk from our dairy herd.
We graze our dairy herd in a high-stock density system and move them twice daily to new forage during the growing season. We feed hay in the winter and lactating cows get organic grain at milking time. Our cows are Jersey, Guernsey, Milking Shorthorn and Ayrshire.
Our dairy products are exempt from state licensing and inspection. We operate under the Penobscot Local Food & Community Self-Governance Ordinance recognized since 2017 by the Maine Food Sovereignty Act.
