Haymaker FAQS

A natural rind is the traditional way to age cheese. Modern cheeses can be aged without a rind, which is easier and helps cheese age faster. However, a natural rind develops complex flavors and life to cheese. We like to think the natural rind of the Haymaker makes it a more interesting, adventurous cheese, with flavors that people who love cheese will enjoy.

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.
