Words from my heart
Raw Cheese Group Buy this Weekend!
This weekend we will be taking orders for grass-fed cheese from Coulter Farms Cheese!
The Coulter family produces Grassfed Cheeses, from their own Certified Organic, 100% Grassfed Jersey Milk right on their farm in Honey Grove, Pennsylvania. This is truly "raw milk" cheese, never heated above 102 degrees. Low Temp Pasteurized and Raw Milk Cheeses will be available.
*** I will place our order on Sunday evening but don't expect it to arrive until the following Wednesday, April 1st pick up. If it arrives earlier I will let you know. ***
If it is raw milk cheese it is aged 60 days according to FDA regulation. All other cheeses are low temp pasteurized. Raw milk cheese that is listed on the market is safe for human consumption and is aged at least 60 days per FDA regulation.
Prices and available sizes will be on the market website tomorrow for ordering. The pricing will include shipping and taxes/fees.
- Cows Raised without synthetic hormones
- Cows are grass-fed and raised on pasture
- Old World, Handmade Cheese making Techniques
- Cheeses made with non-homogenized low temp pasteurized or raw milk and aged at least 60 days to comply with the USDA regulations for raw milk cheese production

Benefits of Grass-Fed Cheese
- One of the few foods that contain a perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, a ratio ideal for your health
- Very high in CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) In fact, it contains five times more CLA than dairy from grain-fed cows! CLA, which are most abundant in grass-fed products, are among the most potent cancer fighters in all foods.
- Considerably higher in beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E than cheese and other dairy from grain-fed sources
- High in the healthy calcium and protein your body needs
- Free from growth hormones and antibiotics
Coronavirus Precautions
We are trying to do our part to part to prevent Coronavirus from spreading to our community. We will be constantly wiping down door handles, shopping carts, Ipad screen, and tables. We will not be taking used egg cartons or recyclables at this time. Thank you for your patience as we get through this together. Wednesday pick up time frame will remain from 1 pm to 8 pm but we are reducing our other weekday hours.
