Blue Ledge Farm, found in the southern portion of the beautiful Champlain Valley of Vermont, is a family owned and operated goat dairy. Hannah Sessions and Greg Bernhardt make uncomplicated yet delicious cheese. Their crottina is a small truckle of goats' milk cheese with a thin white rind. The bright goat's milk compliments the mushroomy flavors of the rind. Pairs nicely with a drizzle of sweet honey.
Blue Ledge Farm
Hannah Sessions and Greg Bernhardt own and operate Blue Ledge Farm situated in the southern portion of the beautiful Champlain Valley of Vermont. It consists of open fields, wetland, and wooded pastures. They manage the land organically while practicing a rotational grazing system to extend nature's resources as well as to offer their goats a nutritious forage.
The farm keeps a mixed herd of Nubian, Alpine and Lamancha goats, and makes both Lake's Edge and Crottina. The former comes to us in small wheels and has a distinctive layer of ash running through the center of the paste. This cheese is lightly-aged, mildly tangy and beautifully creamy. Blue Ledge Crottina is a small goats' milk barrel that has a bloomy white rind, a cakey center and a delicate, milky tang.
