Clover Mountain Dairy is a seasonal dairy, which means they make cheese only during the summer, fall, and winter months from May through February when their small herd of cows is lactating. The cows dry off in the spring, so there is no milk during that time of the year. In the summer, Clover Mountain Dairy makes fresh cheese, such as Feta, Labneh, and Cheddar curds. In autumn, they make harder, pressed cheeses: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, and Tamarack (a gouda-style cheese). According to Virginia and Stacy, “Our goal is to make the most delicious cheese possible from our high-quality milk. We chose these cheeses because we enjoy them, we are able to make them in our small facility, and we correctly guessed our local customers would love them too.”
