Farm History:

Nettle Meadow is a 50 acre 100 head goat farm in the Southern Adirondacks. Nettle Meadow has been making excellent flavored chevres and semi-aged goat cheeses since the 1980s.

We are committed to organic principles and our animals are fed only certified organic grains and hay and a wide variety of wild and domesticated herbs for health and vitality of the goats and their milk.

Kunik is our unique and voluptuous cheese which was recently trademarked for use at Nettle Meadow alone. Kunik is a white mold-ripened wheel made from goat's milk and Jersey cow's cream. The blend makes kunik far richer and more flavorful than a brie type cheese yet more subtle and sumptuous than similarly ripened goat cheeses. Crane Mountain is a white mold ripened square made entirely of goat cheese with a dynamic taste and texture.
