Isn't it great when hard work and dedication pay off in well-deserved recognition?
I've just received word that Nettle Meadow Goat Farm in Thurman will be featured on The Food Network’s new series “Will Work For Food” on March 30th at 9:30pm EST and again on April 5th at 4:30pm EST. Food Network host Adam Gertler traveled from Los Angeles, California to spend the day with owners Lorraine Lambiase and Sheila Flanagan learning how to milk goats, pasteurize milk, and make Nettle Meadow’s trademarked cheese known as Kunik. You can read details and see a few farm pictures at www.persisgranger.com/NettleMeadow.com.
In the few years that Sheila and Lorraine have owned the farm they have substantially increased the herd size and cheese production and begun repairs on the historic old barn. They have poured a ton of labor and more than a little sweat into the operation, and it's great to see their efforts recognized. Their shop is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. so you can pick up their unique cheeses, and they also offer tours on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but you must be there at noon or two p.m. Put that on your summer agenda as a trip to make with friends young and old, but in the meantime, be sure to check out "Will Work for Food."
Congratulations, Lorraine and Sheila!
Good for them! Their cheese is outstanding and the operation they have going is something to see. I'm glad to know about this and will mark it on my calendar to be sure to watch!!
ReplyDeleteWas able to catch the first showing with a gentle reminder from my sister-in-law. Was interesting and nicely done. Can see some highlights of Sheila's and Lorraine's daily routine...and can tell it's not just a business with them but a passion as well. They even have names of all their "ladies". I have to get up there soon and get some cheese and see some of there new youngsters.
