Say Cheese

It all starts with the grass-fed dairy cows, but once the milk is in, the team and Sweet Grass can create a diverse assortment of farm-fresh cheeses. Taste the roots of the business with a slice of Green Hill, a double cream, soft-ripened cheese named after Sweet Dairy’s first rotational-grazing dairy. Fans of bleu cheese will enjoy the Asher Blue, whose creamy texture is marvelously marbled with flavorful pockets of blue and a hint of cocoa. Fashioned in the style of a traditional French Mountain Tomme, the Thomasville Tomme updates the format with local terroir for a farmhouse cheese flavor with mild grassy notes. To make the malty Griffin, Sweet Grass allows the cheese to age at least 120 days. The farm also turns out spreadable cheeses like a smoky and spicy pimento and the light and tangy Lil’ Moo.

The Cheese Shop

In 2010, Sweet Dairy opened the Cheese Shop, their own restaurant in the tree-lined heart of downtown Thomasville. Naturally, they offer a selection of cheese boards like the Taste of Thomasville – an assortment of four farm-made cheeses with roasted Schermer pecans, pickles, crackers, and Blackberry Patch preserves. Elsewhere on the menu, you’ll find sandwiches like a chicken salad sandwich or cheese steak, while sharable options include fried cheese curds and charred brussels sprouts. Don’t overlook the Cheese Shop Burger with a pair of grass-fed patties with your choice of local cheese.
