Sorry, no half shares can get the cheese because the weeks don’t always
match.
Feta This
is made from pasteurized goats’ milk from the Amish family of Sam Byler. An excellent feta, good for salads and many
Greek and other Mediterranean dishes. $6/half lb.
Chevre
Also
from pasteurized goats’ milk from the Bylers. This is a semi soft cheese similar in texture
to cream cheese, but with a little more acidity. It’s great as a spread or in salads. You can easily mix herbs, nuts, or dried
fruits into it and create spreads or dips.
$6/half lb.
Aged Cheddar Made from organic raw milk from grass based dairy. Cheesemakers
Melanie and Mark Dietrich of Keswick Creamery age all their cheeses a minimum of 60
days. $6.50/half lb.
Lesher Also from Keswick aged 60 days. Unique hard cheese similar to an aged parmesan or similar somewhat sharp well aged
cheese. One of our
favorites. $7.50/half
lb.
Blue Suede Moo Raw milk aged bleu cheese from Keswick Creamery $5/quarter lb. We’re hoping this fine bleu
works out this season. Because the cows are eating different grasses through
the summer, it’s hard to maintain consistency.
Alpenkase An extraordinary Ementaller/Swiss type cheese from another group of
Amish. Alpenkase
-literally—“mountain cheese”. This is
the only PA swiss type cheese we’ve tasted which
we’ve liked. $7/half
lb.
Camembert From
raw organic milk and aged 60 days. The
Deans (Pasture Maid Creamery) produce an exquisite raw milk camembert cheese on
their grass based dairy farm-- it’s so
fresh! Camebert is in prime condition for just a
week. Adam’s is made in very small batches and sold immediately. $10/half pound wheel.
