Veldhuizen Cheese Shoppe

Doing things naturally – for our family, our animals, and our land – is very important to us. We believe in building soil health through the use of natural amendments, and so we carefully manage our 180 acres without the use of chemicals or pesticides. As we improve our soil, better crops are produced for grazing. Our goal is sustainability, and so we grow as much of our own feed as possible. We plant a variety of crops which provides our cows a great “salad bar”, suited to their needs, depending on the season. We have a colorful herd of milk cows, predominately Jerseys, a breed known for their rich and creamy milk. We raise our cows from baby calves, closely monitoring their growth and care. We keep our herd free of antibiotics and artificial hormones. Healthy, contented cows produce the best milk, which in turn makes the best cheese.
