About this food
Waiting for our test batches to age the 6 to 8 months needed to come to full flavor, Joe quipped, “Heck, if it doesn’t work out, we can always use it for a doorstop.” The cheese ‘worked out’ but the name stuck! Courtesy of our aging process, this Gouda ends up tasting closer to a Traditional English Cheddar; drier and more complex in flavor with lactic acid crystals, that little bit of crunch.

The idea to change our lives and become cheese makers sprung from an inspiration while soaking in the backyard hot tub now over a decade ago. Sometimes those are the best ideas, the wild ones, the dreams.
After several years of due diligence, we realized that our first choice for building a cheese creamery on site in town was our best and in May of 2009, we broke ground. Doing the majority of the work ourselves, the plans evolved as our knowledge and needs allowed. We ended up with a two story, bright yellow, copper roofed, solar thermal crowned building.
