We are pleased to welcome CalyRoad Creamery to the Cumming Harvest market…
CalyRoad Creamery brings the flavor of the countryside to your table. Farm fresh ingredients and our commitment to quality create the delectable flavor of our artisan cheeses. Owner, Robin Schick, was formally trained at the Vermont Institute of Artisan Cheese and skillfully prepares all of our selections.
For our cow’s milk based cheeses, we start with fresh, all natural milk that is delivered weekly by local dairies. The milk is then pasteurized, cooled, flavored, cut and aged all in house, and all by hand. Our goat’s milk cheeses start with fresh, regionally sourced goat curd. Our gourmet cheeses include feta, the camembert-style Way Point, chevre, and aged goat cheese. Choose our creamy fresh Way Point topped with local dried fruits and nuts, or one that tastes great on its own. Be sure to try our delicious chèvre – available in a variety of flavors.
Look for CalyRoad’s wonderful products under the “dairy” section in the market.
