FOXHILL CHEESE
Fox Hill Cheese House is unique because our cheese is made strictly from the milk of our own 50-head herd of Holstein cows. A small herd allows us to pay strict attention to the quality forage fed to our cows and to the production of clean, pure milk that is drug and hormone-free.

FRESH
QUARK
Quark finds its
roots in Germany and is generally a lower fat cheese, and is salt-free.
Quark can best be described as a cross between yogurt and cottage
cheese. It is consumed regularly by Europeans who relish its tanginess,
simplicity and versatility. Try diluting it with a little milk and mixing
it with scallions, chives, or onions, as a topping on potatoes.
