Hidden in the heart of historically dairy-rich Orange County, NC (on a previous tobacco farm where Cindy West grew up) our small, boutique creamery focuses on the art of cheese-making. Our French-trained chef & cheese-maker, Cindy, handcrafts small batches of many varieties of quality fresh & aged cheeses using goat's and cow's milk. Focusing mostly on traditional European-style cheeses, Cindy also experiments with and creates some of her own unique cheese blends tailored to our local community's tastes.
