Why partner with Amish farmers?
Keeping it real means working with people who value tradition and sustainability. Amish farmers bring generations of methods and expertise—hand-milking, rotational grazing, and a deep connection to the land. It’s kinder to the environment, healthier for the cows, and deliciously better for you.

During the winter months, our cows are fed high-quality hay and haylage, harvested from our fields during the summer and stored in silos. This approach ensures they continue to receive the nutrients they need while maintaining a grass-fed diet, even when fresh pasture is unavailable.
Yes, all of our cheeses are made with pasteurized milk to ensure safety and quality while retaining the rich flavors you love.
