Animals:	purchased milk includes local, grass-based Jersey cows’ milk, Alpine goats’ milk, and grass-fed sheeps’ milk
Other information:	Working with local grass-based dairy farmers has been inspiring! We add value to their milk and they add value to our life and to yours! We take home their animals' milk, warm and fresh in the morning. By afternoon it either has become fresh cheese or is well along on the journey to become an aged cheese. Our customers at the Farmers' Market love the freshness and flavor that result.
