Gouda, broadly, is a Dutch-style cheese. We think of that style as being a cheese for any occasion, and like our farm, it’s a working cheese — it doesn’t just sit there looking pretty. It’s a workhorse cheese, reflecting the hard work and simplicity of our Maine farmstead life.

Yes, we do! Our farm is completely off-the-grid: We use 60 solar panels to generate the bulk of our electricity, which is stored in a battery bank. Our diesel generator is tied into our solar, kicking on if battery levels drop too low, and during milking when a lot of equipment is running all at once.

We milk once per day in the morning. The cows walk up to the barn from the pastures. We have a tie-stall barn that has been converted into the milking parlor, where we can milk up to 12 cows at a time. The girls all have their favorite spot to stand. We have a pipeline system: a series of stainless steel pipes under vacuum provides pressure that mimics hand milking.
