Farmstead Cheeses

Stone Cross Farm’s Cloverdale Creamery began when Patrick decided he wanted to get back to his roots and incorporate dairy cattle into the farming operation. Soon a small herd of registered Jersey cattle and a few Holsteins were added to the Stone Cross Farm diversified operation.

Patrick and Leeta knew they did not want to have a commercial fluid dairy operation, so they began researching what they could do in the value-added dairy market that would only required a small herd. They soon discovered the art and joy of raw milk cheeses.

Today Cloverdale Creamery produces aged, raw milk cheeses at the creamery located on the farm using the milk from the farm’s Jersey and Holstein herd. The cheese is aged in the farm’s cheese cave and packaged on the farm and then shipped direct to the restaurant, retail outlet or consumer

Choose from any of the Cloverdale Creamery’s raw milk cheese selection and realize that nothing comes close to local cheese.
