Balfour Farm makes exceptional cheeses. The care they put into their animals, their farm, and their craft really comes through in the flavor. Great farmers making truly delicious cheese.

We have purchased cheeses and meats from Heather and Doug as gifts at the holidays. What a treat! We have since been back to the winter market for more! So delicious! Each of them were so helpful and knowledgeable!
