At this week’s market:
New!
Dancing Goat Creamery of Byron Center
Dancing Goat Creamery was founded by Barbara Jenness and has been recently purchased by Dancing Goat cheesemaker Veronica Phelps and business partner Kathy Price. Veronica and Kathy will continue the business as an artisan creamery producing small batches of cheese using the same Dancing Goat recipes. The same detail and concern for the use of quality milk and the production of outstanding cheese will continue. We source our milk from local farms where goats and cows are happy, fed naturally and treated well.
Here are the cheeses we will have for sale on Saturday:
Fresh Goat Cheese (chevre) – plain, herb & fennel pollen, honey-orange, cracked black pepper roll, red pepper flakes roll and spring roll (a roll with chives, decorated with violas)
Fresh Cream Cheese – plain, boursin, roasted red pepper, chipotle.
We hope to start making some different types of cheese such as feta, camembert and tomme style as we get more into the season.
