Black-Eyed Susan Sheep Dairy is New Hampshire’s newest sheep dairy. Located in the small town of Mont Vernon, they have over fifty milking ewes producing gallons of milk to make into delicious cheeses, yogurt, and ice cream. The dairy makes several types of fresh cheese including Feta, Brebis, and Ricotta and several aged cheeses, principally Manchego, Ossau-Iraty, Tomme, and Asiago. The sheep have access to more than thirty acres of pasture and more acres of woodland for shade, and the farm follows organic practices but is not certified. They are open for tours and invite people to meet the sheep and see how they create the food to sell locally and at farmers’ markets. They will be offering their cheeses, as well as duck eggs, goose eggs and lamb.

River Rock Farm raises beef cattle on pasture with room to roam freely, where they graze on fresh grass with free access to hay in the winter. The animals are raised without the use of hormones or antibiotics and have access to fresh water pumped from the well through an underground plumbing system. River Rock finishes their animals on a limited amount of GMO-free corn which cattle are able to eat as they choose, while still kept in pasture and provided grass as the bulk of their diet. All of their cuts are dry-aged for approximately thirty days for unparalleled flavor and tenderness. This creates the best tasting, well-marbled beef possible. Following the wisdom of Temple Grandin, River Rock cattle are given the most humane treatment and a happy, healthy life. New this year, check out their bone broth, a nutritious broth carefully created from their farm animals.
Preorder Information: Use their online Market Pre-Order Form to place your order or email [email protected]. A current list of cuts can be found on their Menu.
