Our Farmstead Artisan Goat Cheese comes from Black Mesa Ranch in Snowflake, Arizona. Black Mesa Ranch’s pampered and happy goats are milked twice daily by rancher Kathryn Heininger. Her husband David then craftfully turns the milk into fine and delicious cheeses. Black Mesa Ranch has both the “Certified Humanely Raised and Handled” and the “Certified Naturally Grown” labels. Black Mesa Ranch cheeses have won many regional and national awards.

Goat cheese shares: Goat cheese shares are available from June through November. One goat cheese share consists of a one six-ounce cheese log, to be picked up every other week. One goat cheese share costs $7.25 per pickup.
There are four flavors available: Plain, Herb, Chipotle and Jalapeno. We offer 3 cheese share options, or plans: Plain only, Plain and Herb, and All Flavors. When you select an option with more than one flavor, the flavors will rotate at each cheese share pickup.
Extra cheeses: We also occasionally have feta, boule and fresh cheese logs available for sale retail style on a first-come, first-served basis.
Trading cheeses: Members who have a cheese share can trade their allocated log with any cheese that is available for sale. If there is a price difference, you will be reimbursed the difference or we will ask you to pay it.
Add a cheese share to your existing subscription: you can add one or more cheese shares to your existing subscription for your next pickup. For more info, see Help: Change Your Subscription.
What if you forget or are unable to pick up your cheese share? If you forget to pick up your cheese share on a given day, we freeze it for you for up to a month.
Goat milk candy: Black Mesa Ranch also produces exquisite chocolate and candy made from the ranch’s goat milk cream and top-grade Belgian chocolate: Truffles, Caramels, Butter Almond Toffee, Dark Debris and Fudge. They are only available seasonally (from Thanksgiving to Christmas), so grab them when they’re available!
