Little Highland FAQS

Our farm sits on a little hill, just to the south of the hilly area of Maine known as the Highlands. We are in the foothills of the Highlands, and so this is our “little highlands” cheese. It represents a workingman’s cheese: simple, delicious, and rustic.

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.
