Made with organically grown unbleached wheat, whole corn, and whole oat groats, Kalamata olives, and red onions. Delish! How to enjoy it, let us count the ways: 1) Toasted for breakfast with some of Jonathan's Cultured Butter. 2) Sliced crossways to make the best sandwich ever. 3) Sliced in 1/2" sections and served with dips. You get the idea! Available at all markets and the farm store, pre-order or mail order here. Next music is Supernova on September 22!  We have rescheduled Maribyrd with Joe Cirotti & Pete Lister to  Sunday, October 27.  Hoping the weather will favor us! Cheese forecast: Amram: (sold out) A small, round delight named for the music icon, David Amram. David is a dear friend, and got Jonathan started on his cheese making career when we were neighbors in Putnam Valley, NY! Cider washed Amram: A lovely little round delight named for David Amram, and washed in Ironbound Hard Cider during the ripening process. Our current Amrams are beautifully firm and dry, perfect for grating! Silver Medal winner at the World Farmstead Cheese Awards in 2018, Lyon France! Baudolino: (very limited this week) Early summer edition...smooth and earthy. Amazing with blueberries! Baudolino cured in Blaufrankisch wine must: (coming in Fall) We bury our lovely Baudolino cheeses in grape must, which is the skins of grapes that have been pressed for wine! The cheese gets a beautiful fudgy, gooey texture, and the flavor is delicately laced with wine aroma. Excellent with wine, also excellent with ales and ciders! Drumm: Young summer edition is in! Light crumbly center, soft along the rind. Outstanding. Endgame: Soft and funky, it is a delight for the senses. Forêt, for Ray: (few this week) 1/2 pound round that has been washed in a lovely sour ale made at Descendants Brewery in Milford. This cheese is so smooth & tasty! Delightful with fruit, fresh green salads, and breads, of course! Fossil: Some super-aged Baudolino that has a deep and lovely funk, perfect grated into salads and pastas. Too ugly to ship, swing by and have a taste...you'll need a nice little morsel! Grana: A blend of our firmer cheeses, grated for convenience. Use as you would a Reggiano, but a bit moister, with a lovely intense flavor that's perfect on pasta and salads! Jean Louis: Bold, bright, light, 3 month young release! Always delightful. Jean-Louis XR: Bold, bright, meaty, extra strong, with a texture that is crumbly and smooth at the same time. Currently 12 months old!!! Just a bit available at the farm and at markets. Jean-Louis Blue: (sold out) This special edition run of Jean-Louis cheese is a blue! The flavor is gently & complexly blue, with a sublime texture that is buttery and fudgy. This cheese is distinctly less salty than most blues! We also continue to carry the following cheeses made by our Amish colleagues in Lancaster, PA: Cave-Aged Cheddar: a truly exceptional cheddar, sweet, mellow. Go ahead, use it in mac & cheese...a little goes a long way. Frolic: Alpine style, mild but not simpleminded, great in sandwiches or on its own, melts well. Try it in french onion soup! Cheddar Grand Reserve:  (coming soon) made in 2019, this cheddar has lovely crystallization! These two need to be pre-ordered for Tucker Square: Amish Schmearkase: (sold out till mid-July) dense, semi-soft texture, nutty and buttery with the lightest hint of stink. Amish Blue: subtle and complex cultures, rich milk flavor. This is the blue that folks who don't like blue will like! Available for shipment or pre-order here, or come out and shop. Whey-fed Pork Whey is the by-product of our cheesemaking, and we gather the whey daily to feed it to a group of heritage breed pigs each season! We have some beautiful roasts available here! The best pork ever, available in retail cuts, sold frozen, as well as a line of charcuterie made by our culinary team. How about some Whey-fed Pork Garlic Paprika Thyme Sausage? Check out all of our charcuterie here. 100% grass-fed Beef New inventory in!!! Lots of ground beef for your BBQ enjoyment! Take a look online, or stop by the farm store soon! Pastured, suckled Veal Our pastured, suckled veal, was raised by our cows on the pasture, drinking milk, grazing, and getting plenty of fresh air and sunshine. We have a great supply in stock, so please check out our listing here, or come in to the farm store...we'll also be bringing some to markets. Harvested just a short ride away, we are proud to bring you meat that we feel is ethical, regenerative, and, of course, delicious. Bye for now...stay safe, eat well, spread love...
