Quality organic artisan cheese from happy goats

Capella Meadows produces cheese on a small scale. Our farm is located in Huron County, organically certified and farmed with biodynamic principles. Our goats spend a lot of the summer grazing and during the winter months we provide them with hay and silage of the best quality possible. All our feed is grown on the farm and we always strive to improv

e our soil health and productivity and by that the quality of our milk. Our cheese gets produced without additives and we continually try to find a more and more natural way of cheese making.

Meet our Drunken Billy.
With curds that were soaked in Merlot before pressing and a rind that developed by being washed in more of the same wine, this guy really takes the good old Wine&Cheese combo to a new level.
For now, we will have it, in limited quantities only, in our farm store.
And if you make it out to the farm this Saturday 11am-2pm you will be able to try some samples from our Drunken Billy as well as our other newbie: the Extra Old Cheddar.

Aside from our new cheeses we have:
☑️ our other cheeses (Feta, Cheddar & Cream Cheese) in both small or 1kg units
☑️ whole and light wheat flour: milled from our organic wheat by a local stone mill
☑️ wheat berries if you prefer to mill your own flour
☑️ the first fresh beets of the season
☑️ pasture raised beef and sheep & goat meat

What a relieve. We finished our first cut of hay this year, just before the rain started.
Over the summer we are usually cutting our pastures three times. But the first time cutting is the most important one. With all the spring grows this cut makes up about half of all feed for our goats for the next year.
That means if we don't do a good job, we will feel it for the rest of the year.
This always means some high stress days followed by big relieve when everything is baled up and stored away.

Finally! After a very cool, slow spring, all our animals are finally out on pasture.
Usually we aim for middle of May to give get our animals out of the barn and grazing but with the colder temperatures this spring the grass just didn't grow enough.
Now the barns are empty, the temperatures are rising and it all of a sudden feels like summer 🌞

When our goats give birth mom and their kid(s) first move into our newborn pens.
Those pens give them a chance to get to know each other and learn each others smell and sound that help them recognize each other.
Additionally the limited space helps the kids to learn nursing since mom cannot move very far.
Usually mom and kids spend two days in one of those pens but sometimes bonding or learning to nurse can also take a little longer.
After the newborn pen they all move to our kindergarten group.
Those groups consist of around 10 goats and their kids. Here they learn to find each other within a larger group.
If this step is mastered successfully they can move into our main milking herd where they will have to find each other in a group of around 200 animals.
Most times the kids are about one week old at that time.

The calendar tells me spring is here already.
The temperatures are still close to zero, we still have piles of snow all around the farm and the recent thaw period has transformed our yard into one big, messy mud puddle.
But is is undeniable, spring is coming.
The first flower buds are pocking through the left-over snow, the first goat kids are being born and the fields around us are covered in tundra swans that are migrating north.
What a blessing after a long, snowy winter!

Today was barn clean out day.
On average we clean out our barn every three months. In between we only add fresh straw every couple of days to keep it cozy for the girls.
Over the winter months it can happen that we are not able to clean it up as often. Temperatures way below freezing prohibit keeping barn doors open for any extended period of time.
We were waiting for some time now for the right weather conditions to go at it.
And today it was finally time for some good spring cleaning, the girls love it!
And the farmers too. The manure that we got out today will be the fertility for our land in the coming cropping season.

We woke up to a gorgeous winter morning today. Such a cold and quiet beauty out there!
Farming is a very intense lifestyle. From spring until fall life runs on full speed and the farm is buzzing with life. But as soon as the first snow falls things start to slow down. Everything has to be cleaned up and stored away for the winter, animals and humans move inside.
The winter is the time to rest, recharge empty batteries and then start to plan for a new season.
After a very quite month of January we are now really starting into the planning stage for the new year. There are a lot of plans that need attention, a new barn extension to give our animals more room, new cheeses to bring out more exiting flours of our milk and of course a lot of crop planning...
We for sure need another month or two of winter to be ready for the new season.
But the anticipation is rising because it will another exciting year!
