When COVID-19 disrupted food sales, our cows and goats kept producing milk—and wasting it was never an option. Instead, we turned that milk into cheese and donated nearly 1,000 pounds a week to local organizations feeding our community.
To keep that mission going, we created Supporting Our Farmers’, a cheese that helps us give back with every wheel. Thank you for helping us make a difference—one melt, one meal, one neighbor at a time.
