Our Farmstead Raw Milk Cheddar

Simple Life Farms produces a high quality goat’s milk cheddar with many unique qualities that give it a distinct flavor.  We have a farmstead cheddar; this means that our cheese is produced only from milk from our animals on our farm, unlike Artisan cheeses which have the milk transported into the cheese facility. Since we have a farmstead cheddar we are able to manage the quality from the beginning to the end.  Our cheese starts with spoiled goats that are fed high quality alfalfa and grain to produce the best, creamiest milk possible. This milk is then taken into our processing facility to be handcrafted in small batches to provide the best product possible.

Unlike most cheeses our cheddar is made with raw milk.  Rather than pasteurizing our milk we use the milk as is without heat treatment to provide a unique taste. Our cheese is also aged for at least 60 days. This aging process creates a natural rind that also lends our cheeses exceptional flavor. To ensure the safety of our cheese, our facility and cheese is regularly inspected and tested by the USDA.
