How Do Subscriptions Work?North Country Creamery is crafting farmstead & grass-fed cheese from the pastures of the NYS Adirondacks. This havarti has all the flavors of what you’d expect in a great havarti — buttery, sharp, nutty, and a deliciously mild cheese that's perfect for melting.
- Made with milk from grass-fed cows that roam the farm's 115 acres of pasture
- ~6 oz wedge
The Problem
Mass-produced, processed cheese is almost 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 are mistreated and given growth hormones to increase milk production, which ultimately requires higher levels of antibiotics.
Our Food Fix
North County Creamery is a 100% grass-fed, Non-GMO, & Animal Welfare Approved dairy farm in Keeseville, NY. They are committed to GMO, chemical and antibiotic-free practices to ensure the health and quality of their pastured and grass-fed cows. All their products are made exclusively with fresh milk from their Milking Shorthorn and Jersey cows, and other ingredients are limited to cultures, local herbs, maple syrup & organic extracts--no added colors or stabilizers. There's only 20-30 cows on the farm, so they receive the utmost care through the use of tinctures, essential oils, and homeopathic remedies if ever they are in need.
