Bellwether Farms: Crafting Delicious Cheese and Yogurt with Whole Milk
Bellwether Farms is a family-owned business that has been producing artisanal cheese and yogurt for over 30 years. Located in the rolling hills of Sonoma County, California, Bellwether Farms is known for its commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients and traditional methods of production.
At Bellwether Farms, they believe that good food starts with good ingredients. That's why they use whole, full-fat sheep milk and cow milk to make their cheese and yogurt. These milks are naturally rich in A2 protein, which is more easily digestible than A1 protein found in most commercial dairy products.
The farm's sheep are raised on pasture year-round, which means they have access to fresh grasses and herbs that give their milk a unique flavor profile. The cows are also raised on pasture during the grazing season but are fed hay during the winter months.
Bellwether Farms offers a wide variety of cheeses ranging from soft-ripened cheeses like their award-winning San Andreas to aged cheeses like Carmody Reserve. They also produce several types of yogurt including plain, vanilla bean, lemon verbena, and raspberry.
One thing that sets Bellwether Farms apart from other cheesemakers is their commitment to sustainability. They use solar panels to power their creamery and have implemented water conservation measures throughout the farm.
In addition to producing delicious cheese and yogurt, Bellwether Farms also offers educational tours where visitors can learn about the cheesemaking process from start to finish. They also host events like farm-to-table dinners where guests can enjoy locally sourced food paired with their artisanal cheeses.
