Ohio Farm Direct

Our 255 acre dairy farm, located in the rolling hills of central Ohio, was first homesteaded in 1835, with a deed signed by Andrew Jackson. The brick farmhouse, built by our second generation ancestor, in 1875, is still home to our family today!
 
Following in the foot steps of our ancestry, we are 7th and 8th generation dairy farmers! Our farm was certified organic in 1997. We have been seasonally handcraftingour delicious cheeses for over a decade. We only use the fresh milk produced by our own certified organic, 100% grassfed, cows to craft our cheeses.
 
Just like their ancestors, our cows feast on bio-diverse pastures full of natural, organic grasses, flowers, and herbs. This sustainable practice keeps them healthy and strong. They breathe clean air; enjoy sunshine in uncrowded pastures - living in harmony with nature’s seasons and cycles. Our permaculture (the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient) also minimizes soil erosion, water pollution and the use of fossil fuels to help protect the environment.
 
Grassfed cow's milk is as nutritious as it is delicious! When enjoying our handcrafted cheeses, you get the extra benefits of eating healthy. The main ingredient is our grassfed milk which is loaded with antioxidants, with balanced Omega-3 and Omega-6 ratios, and natural vitamin E. We never use synthetic antibiotics, absolutely no genetically modified plant food or growth hormones are given to our cows. When you find our fresh and aged, creamy, cheeses in your marketplace, you will taste the difference that nature and heritage makes. 
​
We sacrifice high milk production for high quality, organic milk, and a healthy, self-sustaining system in keeping with the same generational values of our heritage. Visit our online shop!

As always, we appreciate your support of our passion for pure and healthy food, a healthy environment, and in sustaining strong family farms for generations to come.
