Shepherd Basket

Made from the pure, raw milk of our East Friesian sheep, we produce this Manchego-style offering using the most time-honored method, by adding the rennet from our own lambs. We aim for a golden pate that is distinguished in its boldness; slightly salty, very sheep-y, and serious in its lingering reminder that this is a classic farmstead cheese at its best. True to its roots, we form the Shepherd’s Basket curds into 4 lb. molds that impart a historic basket rind, making it a standout on any cheese board or cart. Layered in flavor, we are reminded of the goodness that time can allow when we follow traditional cheese making methods. Released after 4+ months, it is young and soft on the palate. With age, it becomes dryer, complex, and alluring…taste for yourself!

Shipping: Any combination of cut cheese over $120 ships free!*

*This will automatically deduct if you live in an area where this shipping deal applies. This app will automatically reject free shipping if the shipping supersedes the amount of the order.

We like to ship on Mondays & Tuesdays for the sake of the cheese. Please ask if you need a certain date or accommodations, we are very reasonable.

OUR BASKET PHILOSOPHY: WE are not a fulfillment center for a slick online gift site. We are a dairy farm. We 'shop' for your items in our store and put REAL stuff in our gift boxes. We do not stuff them with 'fluff' like big bags of $2 dry pasta, low grade flavored cheeses, plastic vac pac items or unknown weight of cheese. So whether you are sending this as a gift or to yourself or to someone else, you will be getting a bunch of high-end gourmet products right off the shelves of our farm store.
