Heart Song Farm produces a variety of cheeses, both fresh and aged, from the healthiest milk possible in our USDA licensed, Grade A dairy and cheese facility. All of our products are truly "farmstead cheeses" - we raise our own goats and craft products exclusively from their milk.
It is our goal to provide continuity of quality. While we remain true to traditional cheese formulas, we find that goat cheese is an ever-evolving product. There are subtle changes throughout the milking season, based on pasture growth, weather and individual lactations. Crafting fine cheese is a careful blend of science and art.
