Blue Ledge Farm is a small family owned and operated goat dairy located in Salisbury, Vermont. Hannah Sessions and Greg Bernhardt make uncomplicated, yet delicious cheese. Lake's Edge is as delectable, as it is beautiful. The goat's milk flavor is rich with a hint of saltiness, and the line of jet-black ash runs through the soft cakey center striking a bold contrast with the white paste. A wonderful sight on any cheese plate!
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.
