We are an artisan goat cheese producer focused on providing our customers with high quality traditional as well as unique goat cheeses. Our cheese is made from the finest ingredients, the purest milk, award-winning recipes and with love. Our vision is to promote the awareness of the benefits of goat cheese as a natural and healthy food source. Locally produced and handcrafted, our cheeses are 100% hormone free. Bon appétit!

fresh chevre, which comes in 12 flavors
& two aged cheeses -bucheron and camembert
      
Abby's jams and jellies are made locally using locally grown fruit. They are made in small batches using only fruit and sugar, cooked until the natural fruit pectin, sugar and heat react to create the perfect gel, set but not firm. The full line of jams and jelly is available at Eddy Fruit Farm in Chesterland and the Raspberry Jam can be purchased at On the Rise in Cleveland Heights, Park Place in Peninsula, and at Lucky Penny Creamery in Kent. Local farm suppliers are Eddy Fruit Farm in Chesterland and Rosby Berry Farm in Old Brooklyn. Both Farms are u-pick farms and offer GREAT local products! 





















 
EBT PROUDLY ACCEPTED 
EBT PRODUCE PERKS! 

Starting in May of 2012, customers utilizing the Ohio Direction Card at participating famers' markets throughout Cuyahoga County can receive extra money or PRODUCE PERKS (in the form of market-dispensed tokens) towards the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables.

To receive your PRODUCE PERKS locate the Customer Service booth at any of the 17 participating farmers' market and use your Ohio Direction Card to purchase tokens.

The farmers' market will provide a dollar-for-dollar match (up to $10) in PRODUCE PERKS tokens that can be used to purchase fresh produce from local farmers.

"Produce Perks" will be redeemable at all participating markets and will be available while supplies last.

How does this incentive differ from last year? Last year Ohio Direction Card customers were able to receive an extra $5 for every transaction they made for $5 or more at participating farmers' markets to use on all Ohio Direction Card eligible food items. The 2012 incentive is limited for use on fruits and vegetables only and starts with the first dollar you spend. There is no minimal transaction amount necessary to receive incentive tokens, therefore you can spend $1 and earn another $1.

Homemade Broth 
The Benefits of Bone Broth
 
There is nothing like a homemade broth – rich, fragrant and glistening with droplets of golden fat. It’s an essential aspect of good cooking. Homemade bone broth offers the depth of flavor that its storebought counterpart simply can’t parallel. It’s also an extraordinarily inexpensive food, especially for its nutritive value. Beyond its culinary uses and economic benefits, bone broth is remarkably healthful.

Check out this great recipe for easy bone broth!

Lentil Stew with Winter Vegetables and Mustard Greens
1 1/2 cups French green lentils
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon bacon fat
1 medium yellow onion (chopped fine)
2 bay leaves
3/4 pound celeriac (peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice)
3/4 pound carrots (peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice)
1/2 pound parsnips (peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice)
1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
1 dried red chili pepper
2 bunches mustard greens (trimmed and sliced very thin)
unrefined extra virgin olive oil (to serve) balsamic vinegar (to serve)

Pour the lentils into a large mixing bowl, cover with warm water by 2 inches, and stir in vinegar. Cover the bowl loosely with a kitchen towel, and leave it in a warm spot in your kitchen for 8 to 12 hours. Drain the lentils and rinse them well.

Melt the bacon fat in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Toss the onions into the bacon fat, and cook them until fragrant and translucent. Stir in celeriac, carrots, and parsnips. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt, cover the pot, and sweat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in lentils, chicken stock, chili pepper, and bay leaves. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes until lentils are tender. Pluck out the chili pepper and bay leaves.

Turn off the heat, and stir in mustard greens. Cover and allow the greens to wilt in the residual heat of the lentils for about 5 minutes. Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
