Who We Are: A 42-acre farm on a hillside in Argyle, NY, with a great view. A modern experiment in small-scale, sustainable, integrated agriculture. The farm centers around our beautiful herd of Alpine goats that give milk for fine seasonal farmstead cheeses. Our pigs drink the whey which is a byproduct of cheese making. Rotating flocks of broiler chickens help improve the outer pastures for the goats. A colorful flock of 35 free-range laying hens maintains the barn and close-in pasture, as well as the lawns. We purchase the high-quality cows' milk from our friends Glen and Jessica Townsend, who have a fine 'cheese herd' of Jersey, Guernsey, Brown Swiss and Ayrshire cows. From their milk we produce our famed array of artisanal cows' milk cheeses, and make more whey for the pigs. It all goes around in cycles - everybody helps and together we make the farm go.
