Rockhill Creamery: How Cheesemaking is Supposed To Be
We came across this Vimeo video about Rockhill Creamery, a small Utah farm where they make cheese from cows’ milk. It’s a lovely portrait of a farm, as well as being instructive about the cheesemaking process.
“A little bit about Rockhill Creamery…..”Our very small farm is located on a rocky hillside in Utah’s beautiful Cache Valley. We have just six Brown Swiss cows that are pampered and spoiled, but they do have to endure Northern Utah winters … hence the term “hardy cows.” We choose not to use any artificial growth hormones on our cows, thus allowing them to produce just what nature and a few hundred years of selective breeding intended. The girls eat only the finest alfalfa, some rolled corn and barley and all the grass they want … when it’s not covered with snow! We are firm believers in using natural, sustainable practices that will leave our little piece of paradise better than we found it. We know that our animals deserve not only humane treatment, they deserve our respect.”
