‼️Brand New Item‼️

We are so excited to be carrying local raw milk cheeses in our coolers! Fruitful Seasons Dairy, located near Alexandria, has been sustainably and rotationally-grazing their 100% grass-fed A2A2 jersey cows and crafting cheese right on their licensed farm for over 15 years. You may remember seeing these cheeses on the shelves at Meadow Farm Foods many years ago — and we are so excited to bring them back to Fergus Falls!

All of their delicious cheeses are aged 2-12 months in their beautiful on-farm cheese cave - check out their website here to schedule an on-farm visit and check out their operation: www.fruitfulseasonsdairy.com.

Raw milk cheeses are a nutrient POWERHOUSE. They contain natural enzymes that remain active (like lipase and lactase) and aid in digestion, they are rich in healthy fats and probiotics that provide beneficial bacteria and support gut health, and they have higher nutrient bioavailability due to the milk not being heated at high temperatures, which retains vitamins and minerals in a form that is easier for the body to absorb.

Raw milk cheeses have a very complex flavor profile that retain the natural, diverse bacterial flora of the farm, resulting in more complex and intense flavors that very by region and season. Some of you may be wondering how we are able to legally retail this product, as Minnesota has strict rules regarding raw milk sales. We are happy to cover this for you! In the US, it is legal to produce and market raw milk cheeses so long as they are aged a minimum of 60 days at temperatures not less than 35° F. This allows natural acids to eliminate most harmful bacteria 👌

Right now you will find Gouda, Farmhouse Cheddar, and Tomato Basil Gouda - with more to come!

It was a gorgeous day at the first Fergus Falls Farmers Market of the season yesterday! This was the largest variety of early-season produce we’ve ever seen at our market and we are so excited about the relationships we’re building with our local growers. You can follow along our partner farms Sower's Harvest Farm for their farm store hours/locations and R&D Gardens for their garden/harvest updates 👌

Hooray for local produce! You will be seeing this very produce on our shelves within the next two weeks 😁
