We are thrilled that our cheese has found its way to City Kitchen, an eclectic neighborhood restaurant featuring classic and unique Americana fare. City Kitchen prides itself on its simple, home-style approach to American cooking, that focuses on delectable comfort food, with a heavy focus on local ingredients. City Kitchen has chosen our Farmer’s Cheese as one of three offerings on their cheese plate, in addition to utilizing our chevre for other dishes. We are so happy to be working with another wonderful local restaurant! If you haven’t been yet, City Kitchen is located at University Mall in Chapel Hill, 201 S Estes Drive. University Mall also happens to be the location of the Chapel Hill Farmer’s Market Saturday mornings, so make it a day!

We are pleased to announce that we have made a great contact in Charleston, SC in the form of Goat.Sheep.Cow, a wonderful wine and cheese shop owned by Trudi Wagner. Trudi recently started carrying our Bloomin’ Sweet Ash (one of our best cheeses!), as well as our Bloomin’ Lunitas, the cow version of sweet ash (without the ash). We couldn’t be more pleased to have begun working with Trudi! She has been a great supporter of our business, even going so far as to push our cheese to restaurants in Charleston. If anyone heads to Charleston, be sure to look them up!

Our cheese kitchen lineup is changing along with the seasons! At the end of the month we will say goodbye to Matt Lardie, who has been with us since 2010. Matt will be working for Chef Amy Tornquist in Durham as a pastry assistant for her three wonderful businesses. Brady (whom many of you have probably already met at the Chapel Hill Farmers’ Market) will be filling Matt’s role, and we are excited to announce that we’ve hired a new full-time cheese apprentice to help him out – Austin! Austin comes to us from his family farm, Two Bridges Farm, and has been a regular vendor at the Western Wake Farmers’ Market. We’re happy to have Austin on board as we continue to expand and improve the business.

In an effort to make it easier for our customers to find out about our wholesale program, we’ve created a new wholesale inquiry sheet. It only takes a moment to fill out, and we will get back to you ASAP with cheese availability and pricing. We’ve even been known to work with our customers to make a custom cheese to fit their needs!
