Cheese

All of our cheeses are made in our on-farm creamery, using the freshest milk from our grazing Jersey herd. We age the cheeses from anywhere from two weeks to a year, depending on the cheese. Our cheese cave is built into the side of a hill attached to our creamery, using the earth’s protection from heat to help maintain just the right aging conditions for our cheeses. We currently sell eight kinds of cheese, all made using our own original recipes. At present, all our cheeses are sold direct only; we do not currently wholesale our cheese to any retail stores. Please visit our Where to Buy page to see the list of farmer’s markets we attend where you can sample and buy our cheeses, or email sweetandsaltyfarm@gmail.com to make an appointment.
