CHEESES AVAILABLE: 

Cumin gouda:  My personal favorite, its earthy aroma and creamy texture make a beautiful addition to any cheese plate.

Nettle gouda:  Made only in late spring and early summer, this cheese is packed with beautiful nettles and its extremely yellow body makes a nice holiday contrast on the cheese plate.  The nettles give this cheese a stronger flavor at the finish.

Plain OR Spicy cheddar:  These are nice young cheddars and the spicy version offers plenty of "punch."   Its crumbly texture would make a spicy addition to a green holiday salad.

Sonnenburg:  A slice of sunshine right from the Bohemian Alps!  This swiss-style cheese is firm and pleasing to the palate.  It's great as a snack or dressed up for dinner with sliced pears, apples or figs.

Camembert:  Recently changed its name from Krista's Little Camembert to Prairie Bloom, this four inch wheel is a treat when cut into pie-shaped wedges.  My mom loves to add a spicy chutney to the top, but I prefer mine on hearty bread with either a glass of sweet white wine or full-bodied red.

Quark:  This creamy, award-winning cheese is the whole-milk version of cream cheese with a yougurty twist.  Spread it on anything from pancakes to crackers, veggies or fruit.  This continues to be the workhorse cheese in my kitchen. Plain or with rosemary and garlic.

A' tempt d'Bleu:  A delicious, early attempt at developing Branched Oak Blue.  More like a Stilton, but more mild.  Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Summer Sun:  A little piece of summer in this young havarti.  Remember how delightful those tomatoes were with garlic on top?  That's what this cheese is like.

Black Jack:  THE BIGGEST HIT of our 2012 farmers market season.  A young jack cheese rubbed with ground black pepper, aged 21 days. Very approachable and easy to eat. 

Valparaiso:  If you like black walnuts, this cheese won't stand in your way of enjoying the nuts tucked in this havarti.   Named after the town where the Heartland Nuts and More coop is housed, this is truly a little piece of terroir.
