Shepherd’s Harvest has a rind that smells like soil after a long winter. The aroma of rotten leaves and earth assure us that spring is here and it’s time to lighten up. The mottled, washed rind looks like a tiger’s backside, while the paste is smooth, golden and sweet as honey.
Hope Artisan Dairy Co-op “grows” their cheese. It is hand made and hand washed in a little cheese house before being released into the wild. Their sheep are raised on a diet of blue chickory flowers, red cover blossoms, the purple veteh, yellow of alsike, plantain and herbs. They are allowed to feed on this luxurious diet from early spring into late fall as weather permits. Availabilty is limited and I have yet to find a shop that carries this cheese. As they say,”good things grow slowly”.

Sounds fabulous! Do you have a contact name and telephone or email?
I will check to see if they have distribution yet. Otherwise, it would be direct.
I want to go direct but there is no telephone number anywhere that I can see.
I would call the Hope Farms line at 519-765-1031 ext. 1 and leave a message.
Hi,
I’ve discovered Shepperd’s Harvest cheese and I’m already addicted! Found it at FIESTA Farms supermarket at 200 Christie St. In Toronto.
They don’t have it all the time so It’s good to call them to confirm.
If anyone knows another place in TO or Mississauga that caries this cheese, please let me know.
Enjoy!
