Yum, Farmers Cheese!

Yum - - more Farmer cheese: plain, rolled in black pepper or herbes de Provence too! 

 

We've noticed that our readers enjoy the seeing how our goat cheeses are made.  This picture was taking in the cheese making room of the creamery (directly below our farm store) and is of a new batch of Farmer cheese in molds. 

 

Farmers cheese is a simple white cheese made on farms using goat's milk. It has a very mild taste with a crumbly texture. Farmers cheese is made only from curds which are pressed into molds to remove excess moisture. Our cheese is packaged plain; or, for more flavor, the cheese is rolled in either black pepper or herb de provence. Farmers cheese can be eaten with bread or crackers, or crumbled on top of salads.

Workshop: The Business of Farming

Apr 28, 2013

8:00 am

to

5:00 pm

There are lots of workshops that teach you how to farm – how to grow vegetables efficiently, manage your pastures, care for your livestock, how to prune your fruit trees. But there are not a lot of workshops that teach you the basics of making your farming venture a success. When you are first starting out, you have tons of business questions that are hard to find answers to, such as:

-How to price your products

-How to sell your products – Wholesale vs. Retail

-Farmer’s Market selling techniques & booth set up

-Customer Relations

-Marketing, Advertising & Sales

-Web Marketing – social media, web sites, email marketing

-Budgeting, Bookkeeping

-What types of insurance you need

-How to get financing

-Grant writing

-How your local NC Extension Office can help you

 

Traci Nachtrab, co-owner of Lucky 3 Farm in Louisburg, NC will teach this workshop. She has a background is in corporate marketing and has successfully created and operated two small businesses. She has a passion for teaching others, so the idea of this business workshop was born!

We will also have several guest speakers with expertise in their fields, such as:

• Martha Mobley, Franklin County Extension Office
• Amy Mustian, AgCarolina
• Wayne Champion, NC Farm Bureau
• Jon Parks, Dijital Farm

Location: Franklin County Extension Office (Louisburg NC)

Cost: $125

go(a)t cheese?

 

In the summer of 2012, we began making our first raw milk aged farmstead cheeses, using only milk from our herd, in our new creamery. These cheeses are aged from two to eight months in both natural rinds and waxed rinds. In October 2012, we received our Grade B Goat Dairy license and began selling our goat cheeses in the farm store. In March 2013, we began making fresh chèvres (soft goat cheese, available plain or flavored), feta (available brined or marinated) and farmers cheese (available plain or flavored). 

 

In the spring of 2013, you will be able to purchase our goat cheeses at a variety of locations in addition to our farm store.  Look for our cheeses at Let It Grow Produce (Country Club Road in Winston-Salem), King Farmers' Market (Parking Lot of the Stokes Family YMCA on Wednesdays), and Old Salem Cobblestone Farmers Market (Adjacent to the Single Brothers Garden at the intersection of West Street and Salt Street in Winston-Salem on Saturdays). 

Due to the seasonality of our products, not all cheeses are available at all times in our farm store or at local markets. Please email or call ahead with any questions.
