Read on to see why these curds are so wonderful – and learn where you can pick up a bag for yourself!
The story of Farmer Johns’ Cheese vegan on a typical Wisconsin dairy farm. The fourth-generation farm milked about 200 cows and sold the milk at the going market rate. Profit or loss depended on the given milk prices, and prices could change at any time.
Then the farm did something a little unusual and a bit remarkable. It sought greater success by reducing the herd – it sold off most of the cows, keeping just 30 animals. It then started making cheese with the milk it still produced.
It became a big success and the farm now makes more money with the new approach to business. To find Farmer Johns’ cheese, head to Madison and find a farmers market. There are markets throughout the Madison area and Farmer Johns’ is at many of them – 15 markets in all.
Farmers Johns' cheese has a big following. The farm’s curds are unbelievably fresh and the farm also sells many delicious hard cheeses as well, including 10-year cheddar and garlic and herb cheese.
Farmer Johns’ customers not only rave about the squeaky curds, they also give the stand’s namesake, John, high marks – it's known as one of the friendliest stands in the markets.
Fresh cheese curds keep well when refrigerated, for the best taste, eat them as soon as possible. You may want to open up your bag of Farmer Johns’ cheese curds while you’re still at the farmers market! If you’re a fan of Wisconsin cheese, take this incredible cheese lover’s road trip.
