Turn it into cheese!

Shy Brothers Farm has joined Foodzie to bring you their adorable and creamy, soft “Hannahbelles” thimble sized cheeses.

Like NY Cheese, which I recently wrote about, Shy Brothers is another great example of dairy farmers working with partners to create a small farmstead cheese operation.

The farm is also a future model of sustainability. The local paper reports that “Shy Brothers Farm has received $33,000 from the state Department of Agricultural Resources to design a new energy-efficient cheese-producing building and renovate a barn into a storage area and visitor’s center.”

Barbara Hanley, a friend of the brothers who helps sell the cheeses and keeps the books, explained that the farm will be tasked with finding ways to re-use all aspects of the operation including the water used for washing and cheese making.

Congrats for the farm’s Wall Street Journal feature today!
