Artisan Cheese
delivered to Your Door
Our family and the entire Calkins Creamery team take pride in how we care for our cows and our land. We believe that knowing your farmer not only feels good but gives you peace of mind when it comes to what you serve your loved ones.
There’s a true labor of love at the heart of our unforgettable and delicious cheeses. And because we’re a small business, we bring thoughtful attention to every aspect of our work. We make all our cheeses in small batches to ensure the best possible quality.
Whether you’ve experienced our Noblette soft-ripened, Brie-style cheese at a five-star restaurant in NYC, discovered our sought-after garlicky Vampire Slayer at a dinner party, or received our signature Cheese Curdz as a gift, we’re so glad you discovered our farm-fresh artisan cheeses!
Below you’ll find all of the items we sell online, including cheese wedges, cheese wheels, gift boxes, and Calkins Creamery branded merchandise.
We hope you enjoy shopping with our local family farm as we deliver fresh, unique, and award-winning cheeses to you and your family.

You have questions. We have answers…
-
Our farm is home to a herd of beloved Holstein cows. These happy cows are the source of all of the milk we use to make our artisan cheeses, and those who visit our farm often get to meet one of our girls in person.
-
Yes! Our cows graze on our fields from April through November when the weather cooperates.
Silage (fermented fodder that provides cows with digestible fiber) and feed round out their diet.

Our cheeses are made with care right here at the farm.
Our milk is pumped into the creamery straight from the milk tank, making it the freshest milk possible.
Each of our raw milk cheeses is aged at least 60 days before they’re sold.
And our pasteurized cheeses are heat-treated at 145 degrees for thirty minutes before the cheesemaking process.
A single batch takes a full day to make, and we continue to tend to each cheese during its affinage or aging process, ensuring that only the best quality cheeses make it to your table.
