Redhead Creamery

Wiki Article

Redhead Creamery made our first batch of cheese in 2013 and by the end of 2014 we had built and opened up our own cheese making facility right here on our family farm, Jer-Lindy Farms. But the ridiculously good cheese you taste today in our cheese shop is the culmination of years of study, trips to artisan cheese plants, funding campaigns, testing, waiting, sampling and starting over. Here, is the story of Redhead Creamery.

There’s an all-too-common story of the younger generation not being able to join the parents on the dairy farm because it’s typically too costly to scale to the point of sustaining two (or more) families. This was, in fact, the story of my dad, Jerry, of Jer-Lindy Farms. So when I (Alise Sjostrom) returned home at the tender age of 16 from a 4-H youth trip to Wisconsin announcing that not only did I plan to stay on the farm but that I wanted to expand into cheese making, my parents, while encouraging, weren’t quite sure if this dream would become reality. Little did my parents know that they would one day become partners with my future husband and I in the Redhead Creamery.
