Shepherd’s Way Farms is an award-winning farmstead creamery located in Nerstrand, Minnesota, specializing in the production of sheep’s milk cheeses. Their family-run farmstead approach allows them to develop cheeses that reflect a specific "terroir" – a unique flavor that arises from the particular grazing conditions and natural environment. Their cheese lineup includes products such as Friesago, a semi-hard and semi-aged cheese with a natural rind and mild, nutty flavor; Shepherd’s Hope, a mild fresh cheese with subtle citrus notes; Big Woods Blue, a creamy blue cheese with complex, spiced flavors; and Sogn, a semi-hard tomme-style cheese with rich, fatty sheep’s milk and notes of green olives and bay leaves. In addition to cheeses, Shepherd’s Way Farms also offers other products such as milk, lamb, wool, and wool-based items.
