How Do Subscriptions Work?A firm, sweet goat's milk gouda that packs a distinctive punch. It's aged for at least 3 months, resulting in a uniquely mellow and nutty flavor. It's great on it's own added to a cheese board, or works great as a melting cheese for egg sandwiches and grilled cheeses.

The Problem
Mass-produced, processed cheese is practically not cheese at all. Nearly half of it is cut with salt, food dyes, preservatives, emulsifiers, and other artificial ingredients to extend its shelf-life, change its texture, and significantly cut its cost. These ingredients are what cause most grocery store cheddars to be dry, rubbery, and more suitable to melting. On top of that, the milk often comes from factory farms, where dairy cows and goats are mistreated and given growth hormones to increase milk production, which ultimately requires higher levels of antibiotics.
Our Food Fix
Lively Run Goat Dairy is one of the longest run commercial goat dairy farms in the country. They're family owned and operated out of the Finger Lakes region of New York. They aim to craft artisan cheese inspired by the local culture in a way that honors people, animals and the land. Their goats are fed a wholesome diet of local forage and feed, which is essential to milk quality and reflects the character of the Finger Lakes region. Their focus on quality and consistency has been rewarded, as they've won multiple national cheese competitions.
