Re: raw cheese now sources

[Guest guest]

I've gotten a list of some places to buy raw cheese, butter, meats,

and olive oil from this list and a raw food list. Bariani is the

brand of olive oil that I get shipped to me from Ca. I'll email you

the other sources that I have so far...

Also, look in Wise Traditions, the WAP Foundation's journal for

sources near you.

My favorite raw cheese sources are Meadow Creek Dairy,

http://www.meadowcreekdairy.com (all are kept below the temp

of enzyme destruction except the Mountaineer variety), and The

Swiss Connection, ayegerl@... (has both raw and

pasteurized varieties). Both dairies are grass-fed and organic

(not certified, but no chemicals or drugs), cheese is made only

during the green grass season, ordering is easy, taste is

fantastic (don't expect bland grocery-store type flavor, this is

CHEESE).

Written to another list:

Dear Friends,

Well, the last of the orders will be going out between Monday and

Wednesday of next week. Although this particular farm will no longer

be producing raw butter I have located several other sources of raw

butter, raw cream, and raw cheese (salted and unsalted) that I want

to share with you. You may already be aware of some or all of these

producers. Please mention my name so they know that I am trying to

support the raw dairy effort. I have asked permission of each source

to send you their information. Here they are:

1. Nezinscott Farm in Maine. They sell grass-fed raw cream and

butter. their products tend to have a sour taste. Nothing wrong with

that. In fact it's quite healthy as it is beginning to develop

beneficial bacteria. But a lot of people don't like the taste of

souring butter or cream. I have brought this matter to the farm's

attention and they are trying to remedy it.

207-225-3231

2. Wil-Ar Farm in Pennsylvania. Raw cream and raw butter from grass-

fed Jersey cows. And raw cheeses as well. Talk to Arlene or Wilmer.

717-776-6552

3. Nature's Sunlight Farm. Please do not call prior to September (at

their request). They have ordered a stainless steel churner from

Holland and will not be set up before then. They are neighbors to Wil-

Ar and also produce raw cream and raw cheese. Talk to Mark or ann

Nolte. 717-776-3417

4. Morningland Dairy. Unsalted raw cheeses only. 417-469-3817

These last two are my favorites for many reasons, particularly their

knowledge and pride in the product, reasonable prices, and attention

to quality and taste.

5. Peaceful Pastures Farm. You will find Drake to be a

delightful and highly informed person. She produces a newsletter and

takes great pride in her grass-fed meats (frozen), raw butter, raw

cream and raw cheeses from her mostly Jersey herd.

Amazingly enough her salted raw cheese contains celtic sea salt (the

best there is). She has just ordered a stainless steel cream

separator so she won't be able to accommodate too much volume until

that has arrived and been set up. She has also developed an ingenious

technique for sending perishable items using dry ice that will not

freeze the product. And she has arranged with her carrier to not

charge her for the weight of the dry ice as it is gone upon arrival!

615-683-4291

6. Yerba Santa Goat Dairy. and Jan Twohy have spent years

perfecting their raw and non-raw grass-fed goat cheeses. However,

please do not call before mid-October as they will not be able to

handle the increased demand for their award-winning raw goat cheeses

prior to that point. They specialize in these cheeses. The dairy is

near to my home and I have been reveling in their cheese for years.

They do not produce raw milk for sale. They have a fantastic raw goat

cheddar that will be made with celtic sea salt and a raw unsalted

shepherd's cheese that is absolutely delicious.

They can be reached at 707-263-8131.

This is my swan song to you. I will no longer respond to inquiries

about raw dairy products. I am strictly a consumer. Glad to have been

of service while it lasted.

Happy fat city,

Ron

That's strange. I placed a rather large order about 4 or 5 months

ago and had no communication problems with them.
