In 2001 we started a goat dairy and a farmstead cheesemaking business!! Our goats happily browse woods, fields and pasture. Our aim is to handcraft fresh, semi-ripened and naturally aged goat and cow cheeses that you will find unique and delicious.
Products
Goat Milk Cheeses
Fresh Chèvre--fresh goat's milk cheese with a tangy and grassy flavor.
Georgia Pecan Chèvre--soft-ripened goat milk pyramid coated in ground pecans and a white, bloomy rind.
Lumiere--soft-ripened, heart-shaped goat's milk cheese layered and covered in grape vine ash and a white, bloomy rind.
Holly Springs--raw milk, aged goat cheese made in the style of a French Pyrenees Tomme. Semi-soft texture when young, but ages into a crumbly, dry, almost grateable table cheese.
Botana--raw milk, aged goat's milk cheese made in the style of a hand-milled, bandaged English cheddar. Only made when there is an excess of goat's milk in the late Spring, early Summer. Very "botanical" with notes of clover, rye grass, and other vegetal tastes.
Cow's Milk Cheeses
Velvet Rose--soft-ripened cow's milk cheese made in the style of a Perail. Double cream with very little culture. This cheese is very rich and creamy when young, but develops a barnyardy, rustic flavor and runny consistency as it ages. Very limited production.
Green Hill--double-cream, soft-ripened cow's milk cheese with a white, bloomy rind. Very smooth texture and sweet, rich flavor.
Thomasville Tomme--raw aged cow's milk cheese made in the style of a French mountain cheese. One of only ten cheeses chosen by Slow Foods, USA to represent American raw milk cheese.
Georgia Gouda--raw cow's milk cheese made in the style of a Dutch gouda. Semi-soft texture and balanced flavor.
Myrtlewood--raw cow's milk cheese made in the style of a French Pyreenes cheese. The rind is washed in a wax myrtle (native Southern plant), balsamic vinegar, and salt mixture.
Clayburne--raw cow's milk cheese made in the style of a hand-milled, bandaged English cheddar and aged for a minimum of 6 months. Very limited quantity.
Please check the website for all seasonal cheeses such as Asher Blue (our raw cow's milk blue cheese), Georgia Crottin (a soft-ripened goat cheese), mixed milk cheddar, flavored fetas, and other "backshelf" cheeses. All cheeses are subject to availability.
