Haltwhistle Cheese Company

Not too much longer and the goats and sheep will be back out on pasture. We always look forward to watching them run out to the field with excitement!

FETA is back!! We know you have been waiting so patiently since October for its return. Our raw goats’ milk feta is like no other. Tangy and sweet with just the right about of salt. Available tomorrow @greatgreensfarmmarket, online at @cow_op, @cowichanmilk, and @southislandfarmhub and this weekend @duncanfarmersmarket and @mossstmarket. And coming very soon to @peppersfoodsvictoria. #rawmilkcheese #artisancheese #goatcheese #yyjeats #cowichanvalley #bcfarmersmarket #buybc #supportlocal

We’ve got a couple of special cheeses for you today at market. First up Bellegarde, a fresh cows’ milk cheese dusted with your choice of summer savory or smoked paprika. Next is the second cheese in our reserve series: Thombury Reserve. Aged for six months this version of Thombury is especially creamy and much stronger than its younger counterpart. Try the two Thomburys side by side to see what a difference the extra time makes!

We caught these two snuggling earlier today. The sheep and goats are certainly one big happy family!

Spring has sprung, the lambs are here. Sheep’s milk cheese is coming near!

Everyone has been impacted in some way by COVID this year. We are going through a cheese shortage of our own right now and, like Neals Yard, have been working tirelessly to increase our supply and make up for time lost in the spring. https://www.nealsyarddairy.co.uk//blue-cheese-shortage-at-

Has anyone ever told you that 95% of cheesemaking is cleaning? It’s true! We just did a deep clean of our cheese room to get ready for the week ahead. What are you up to today? #bccheese #artisancheese #farmlife #cowichanvalley #dairyfarm #eatlocal

We’re enjoying a little reading by the fire before we make our way to the first winter markets of the year. Cory will be at the Moss Street Market on Thurlow Street and Kirsten will be at the Duncan Farmers’ Market on Ingram Street starting at 10am. Bellegarde, curds, Fromage Fort, Fromage Frais, and our one of a kind leaf wrapped cheeses will be available for you today. We hope to see you there! #bccheese #artisancheese #buybc #yyjeats #cowichanvalley

Thanks to Cory for taking such good care of our goats! He’s out there day after day, feeding hay, checking fencing, and keeping the barns clean. (Not to mention rounding up the mischievous ones who find a way to go on adventures!) It’s a tough job, and the ladies appreciate it! #farmlife #bcfarm #goatdairy

Karen’s lightening fast at labeling fresh curds! Pick yours up this weekend at market or maiiz.nixtamal! #artisancheese #cowichanvalley #yyjeats #cheesecurds #curdnerd #bcfood

You can never know too much about cheese! This is a great, approachable book for anyone who would like to learn more about the never ending subject of cheese. (There’s even a recipe for Fromage Fort if you want to make your own at home. ) Do you have a favorite cheese book? Let us know! #cheeselover #artisancheese #cheeseeducation #curdnerd

There aren’t too many things better than a goat nuzzle. Have a safe long weekend, everyone!

It’s giveaway time!

One of our projects for the year has been expanding the milking parlor so we can milk 18 ladies at a time. We’ve come a long way...in the early days we could only accommodate 5!

If you know, you know. Get this beauty this weekend at market.

Not the most efficient way to distribute grain, but definitely the cutest!

Catch us this weekend at the Duncan Farmers Market AND Moss Street Market ...that’s right, we’re back and we missed you!

Esquimalt Farmers Market, we will see you tonight! Please be prepared to pay by debit or credit tap, we are not accepting payment using cash or chip and pin card. Thanks for understanding, and we will see you soon!!!

We are back at the Duncan Farmers Market tomorrow! We have made a couple of changes for the time being: we are only taking payment by debit and credit tap, and we will not be stamping loyalty cards for the time being. Thank you for understanding, and we will see you tomorrow from 9-2 with all of the cheese! We have missed you!

Happiest day of the year for the goats!

A few from the field. First day of spring pasture for the ladies and a few gents!

Better late than never! Three new arrivals today to bring you cheer.
