CHEESE CSA

Get insider access to all of our cheeses, plus new and hard-to-get cheeses!  Make a difference with your food dollars through a Shepherd’s Way CSA!

 

What is a CSA?

CSA -- Consumer Supported Agriculture --  is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and community members who pay in advance for future product. Your CSA subscription makes a tangible difference – it helps keep this small, family farm rolling! Your food dollars help care for the flock, support regenerational farming, and sustain handcrafted, on-farm artisan cheesemaking traditions.

​

What do you get?

Cheese CSA members will receive a monthly cheese share, a selection of Shepherd’s Way Farms cheese (usually 3-4 pieces). Often includes our more familiar cheeses  -- Friesago, Big Woods Blue, Shepherd’s Hope, Hidden Falls. And, our limited Burr Oak and Sogn. Our CSA members were the first to receive our seasonal Morcella, a bloomy rind sheep milk cheese with morel mushrooms.

 

Members have also received selections not available in stores -- a fresh sheep milk cheese (similar to chevre), Adobo Cheese Spread, Country French Spread, Shepherd’s bonbons (fresh vanilla cheese rolled in chocolate), traditional whey ricotta, skyr (Icelandic yogurt-like cheese) and more.
