Since the rise of COVID-19 in the USA, Boxcarr Handmade Cheese has seen a drastic fluctuation of sales. Within some businesses, lowering production would be the first step. In ours, however, the cows and goats still need feed and still give milk! Our farm, and the small family dairy we purchase cow milk from, could end up dumping our milk. We are choosing to continue to hand-make this valuable milk into delicious cheese, and donate the extra to several local organizations set up to feed those in need. At the beginning, these donations added up to almost 1000 lbs of cheese a week!
We are searching for funds as we continue to do this. Our cheese, named "Supporting Our Farmers Cheese,” has been incorporated into our permanent line of cheeses. We will continue, with a sustainable program, to donate cheese. Thank you for all your help.
