Where The Harvest and Hillsdale Meet — Sundays 10am – 2pm

The good always comes first.
The good part is that I am now nestled into my 1916 farmhouse and that the country store (which just happens to be the only store in my iddy biddy town) sells candy for .01 cent and they of course know me by name! News travels fast in a small [...]

The luck of the Irish part 2
On any given day I might be driving and get absolutely no red lights- life in a small town you might say – but that’s hardly the case.
I never ever have problems finding parking spots-even driving my 14ft box van, serendipitous truly.
I also seem to meet the most random [...]

How can you govern a country when there are 246 types of cheese?”

Cheese 1: A solid food made from the pressed curd of milk
Cheese 2: noun. slang Often meaning an important person
Did you know how the first cheese was made? Of course you don’t because it wasn’t recorded but this is what I think happened.

Its complicated

Welcome all to the Jacobs Creamery cheesy newsie!

The title of the newsletter this week perfectly explains how The Wedge (not the Slice or the Wedgie) went last Saturday.
Complicated is organizing six markets a weekend, with a special order delivery and of course the need to drive two trucks at once.
Complicated? Yes! Thankfully my Dad [...]

My name is Cheese Czarina and I am a fat-aholic!
This week in the cheese room there was some MASSIVE churning going on. I was almost in tears when I saw the weather forecast for 90 degrees on Monday.
Hot weather and butter do not mix. Thankfully my Dad came to the rescue and loaded up his [...]

What was little Miss Muffet eating?

While I was in the throws of hand-scooping my ricotta this week I totally checked out my whey- and was thinking what lovely whey it was having come from rich Jersey milk. Then I started thinking about Little Miss Muffet sitting on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey and [...]

And I introduce to you: The moo cow farm and its inhabitants

It occurred to me the other day (after I realized I get questions about the cheesy newsie once a week) that half of you probably have no idea what I am talking about most of the time. I do get lots of remarks about [...]

Knock knock Pudding delivery!
Howdy all!
My week usually starts on Sunday- the long part of it anyway. I usually put in about 50 hours between Sunday and Tuesday after the market.
With the twins gone entirely there was a lot more to do. I am so up for it though!
Monday came fast and I was ready I [...]

Once upon a time…
One day there was a young girl (people called her little but she didn’t like it) who decided that she wanted to make cheese.
So she did. Then she piled it up in her mini cooper and went to the farmers market. The next week she made even more cheese and each week [...]

Getting skwishy with it!
I remember walking down the street and receiving whistles and quite a few honks while walking on my way somewhere.
Now I get drivers pulling over after yelling “hey cheese maker”- pulling over to ask me to sell them some cheese. They did ask for my number, but it was only to call [...]
