Cheese by Hand

Heritage and tradition are very important to us at Peaceful Heart Farm, so our cheeses are based on time-honored European cheese methods that we have adapted to our local conditions in southern Virginia. We embrace the changes in the seasons that lead to delicious and discernible variations in our cheeses. 

Our cows graze all day on pasture and live a peaceful life. We practice integrity with all of our farming practices and give unending attention to our livestock. We value their lives and health. All animals are born and raised on pasture.  They eat grass in the summer and hay, as needed, in winter.

The taste of each of our handcrafted cheeses reflects the animal health, diverse pastures, clean water, and soil minerals that go into the milk. Our goal is to capture the full flavor and nutritional qualities of the rich, raw Normande cow’s milk and preserve it in the form of exceptionally aged artisan cheese. All Peaceful Heart Farm cheese is made with raw milk, completely hand made and slowly aged.
