Winning multiple awards for our goat cheese, butter, and ghee at the Excellent Taste Awards in London has been satisfying on so many levels—as a brand, as a family business, and as producers of quality staples for the pantry and fridge! All our hard work is appreciated and rewarded – making all the 5am milking sessions to flipping the cheese at 10pm at night worth it.
