Traders Point Creamery
Since 2003 our creamery has produced artisan dairy products, in small batches, using traditional methods. Minimally invasive methods have been used to retain as much of the milk’s natural flavor, character, and heath benefits as possible.
Our processes do include pasteurization, but we do not homogenize our milk as that changes the fat molecules from their natural state, preventing them from separating as they naturally would. Because it’s handled less and creates less damage to the fat molecules, non- homogenized milk is better for our bodies and may be an easier-to-digest product for those who do not typically tolerate dairy well. For those interested in raw milk products, we are able to offer raw, non-pasteurized cheese that has been aged a minimum of 60 days.
In grass feeding our cows, the fat in our milk has health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, beta carotene, and vitamins A and D. For this reason, our products contain primarily whole fat milk so that our bodies can benefit from these rich nutrients. Research has also shown that increasing healthy fats in the diet, and restricting carbohydrates, is actually the best way to lose weight.
Proudly, we take these processes all the way from the soil to our farmstead restaurant, and on- farm store, and we partner with other farms that share our mission. You are invited to share in this journey from our pastures to our plates.
