Good morning

Thanks to those of you who braved the rain and mud and wind to visit last weeks opening summer market anyway.  True testimony to the toughness of Maine folk and the loyalty of you, our customers.  We expect a full market this week, the weather is promising and we hope you can make it down.  Please check visitbath.com to see which Mayfair events were postponed til this Saturday.

New to the Market

Welcome to  Fuzzy Udder Creamery.  

Jessie says "Fuzzy Udder makes a variety of fresh, soft-ripened, and aged sheep, goat. and cow's milk cheeses. Our small herd of about 40 dairy sheep and goats cruises the windy pastures of Whitefield Maine.  We feed our flock organic dairy grain, Maine-grown oats, local seaweed, local organic cider vinegar, and top-notch mineral mixes every day.

Our herd rotationally grazes on lush pasture while the grass is growing and dines on high quality second cut hay in the colder months. We also buy certified organic jersey cow’s milk from Two Loons Farm in South China. We are committed to environmentally sound and socially conscious practices, including a healthy work environment for our employees. Our animals’ happiness and health comes first and they are raised with lots of love. " 

Start now to explore the many cheeses Jessie has brought to share...

From our vendors-specials, sales, news

welcome back to Coppertail Farm: Christelle has been creative this winter.  In addition to her delicious cajetas and yogurt, her sensual soap, she's brought along creamy old world style ricotta, and goat cheese with sundried tomatoes.She had a slew of babies this spring, building her herd.  And she sold young bucks to Caitlin at Appleton, and Jessie at Fuzzy Udder growing connections and supporting her fellow farmers with healthy well loved stock.
