These are lovingly handcrafted on local farms using the finest sustainable farming methods. They support the local farm community, take less diesel fuel to get to you, and are simply world-class cheeses. We also offer a wide selection of sheep and goat cheese, which some people who have trouble with cow’s milk find more easily digestible.

Featured Product:
If you enjoy Brie and Camembert, it is time to step up to the cheese plate and try Taleggio, a classic smelly cheese form the Lombardi region of Italy. This incredibly pungent semi soft creamy cheese is made from whole cow’s milk Lakewinds carries a marvelous raw milk version from Cademartori. This is a cheese with a big taste and a sophisticated flavor. Your days of eating just Brie cheese might be over.
Another great raw milk cheese is Point Reyes Original Blue, a farmstead cheese from the coastal town of Tomales Bay in California. The cheese is handmade from hormone-free raw cows’ milk produced by a herd of 250 Holstein cows who graze on local grasses all year round. Point Reyes Original Blue is cured and aged for a minimum of six months with added flavor provided by the salty Pacific breezes. This is a creamy full flavored blue with the exceptional taste found in the raw milk cheeses. |
