Made from a mixture of goat milk from their farm and cow milk from Kilgus Farmstead, these awarding winning cheeses are crafted in Champaign, IL.

Little Bloom is a camembert style cheese and the 2024 Gold Medal winner at the American Cheese Society. It is beautifully gooey when ripe and excellent on a baguette with honey.

The goat milk is produce from goats that graze in a silvopasture, which is a combination of pasture and trees. The cottonwood trees planted in pasture provide nutritious foraging for the goats. In times of extreme heat, they provide shade and create a cooler microclimate under which the goats get natural relief.
