Sonnet - Farmstead Goat Cheese
Earthy, rich, softly sharp with a subtle tang, this cheese is made with our goat's delicious milk and is filled with the tastes of our hillside.
The iteration we are selling today is a particular treasure. Sold by the half wheel(approximately 1lb) it was made in May of 2023 when the grass is ripe and juicy, filled with the spring rain. The early lactation milk is particularly creamy and rich. At this point the cheese has been aged and is nutty and complex, think of it as an aged goat parmesan. It is naturally a bit crumbly and cracked. I find it best consumed after grating with a microplane and having it melt on to any variety of pasta dish or crostini or your morning eggs. It is not for the faint of heart, it is a cheese lovers cheese. A unique original.

**CURRENTLY SHIPPING NATIONWIDE , you must select fedex shipping at checkout***
**Please also note that Cheese is a living, breathing, thing. Do not expect it to last forever. It is best consumed within 4 weeks. It is fine to eat for far, far longer, but you will likely have to cut away the growing mold. Since it is a natural rind cheese, it will want to continue to grow mold all around it. Simply cut it away and enjoy the inside.

PROCESSING TIME FOR ORDERS
We make all of our caramels and chocolates fresh for every order, and this can require up to 4 business days depending on the product you are ordering and our production schedule. If you are ordering caramels and/or apparel or other non-perishable gift items, you can expect that orders will ship out the next business day, as we almost always have those in immediate stock.
However, if you are ordering chocolates and other special confections, please be aware that it can take us anywhere between 1-4 business days to produce the chocolates PRIOR TO SHIPPING. For instance, if you order our Turtles or Goat Tricks Bar or Truffles, it could take us up to 4 business days BEFORE it ships. When you select a "shipping option" you are merely selecting the transit time, not total production plus transit time. So if you order Chocolates, then select 2-Day Express due to warm weather in your area, then the total time it will take to take your order could be anywhere from 4 - 6 business days.
DELIVERY OPTIONS
We ship with UPS, FedEx, and USPS depending on the time of year, size of package, and destination. Transit times vary depending on destination. Standard deliveries are only made on weekdays.
During Warm Weather Months (May-September), "standard delivery" service is only offered in New England. To all destinations outside of New England, 2-Day Express via UPS or FedEX must be selected to avoid melting.
RESTRICTIONS
