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 awesome 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.

One goat cheese share costs approximately $30 and consists of six 6-ounce logs delivered at the rate of one log every other week. Cheese shares are only available in the summer and fall sessions (June to November).
There are four flavors available: Plain, Herb, Jalapeno and Chipotle. By default, members receive each flavor in rotation. If you wish to receive specific flavors, please ask the front desk or indicate your desired flavors when you complete your member’s contract.
Cheese shares can not be bought by themselves; you must subscribe to a produce share in order to buy a cheese share.
Black Mesa Ranch also produces exquisite chocolate and candy made from 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 you can!
