zoramargolis Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Do you know if they hit other markets in the area? Good to know they're making tasty cheddar. That Keswick Creamery stuff at Dupont is inedible. I think it's like eating clay. That is a question I didn't ask. I agree with you about Keswick cheddar. Nice folks, though. And I sometimes buy veal bones and veal liver from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 For us breeders, who spend hundreds of mornings a year waking up at 6:30 and car-pooling the kids to school, 9AM is the moral equivalent of noon. Plus, if you don't pull yourself out of bed in time, all the good tomatoes are gone. Anyone who can't shop with dry heaves and a headache the size of Uzbekistan is a wuss. Plus, the Bloody Marys at Trio are cheap,as long as you're in the 'hood. New to me this week. Picked up some really good yogurt at Keswick Creamery. PS - 6:30?!? I'll always knew that you were lazy Waitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quark-eggs-yogurt-Dragon's Breath folk from PA? I thought only Eco-Friendly and Smith Meadows sold non-bisony bovine flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Keswick is buddy-buddies with veal vendor Painted Hand, so they may be selling Sandy's stuff for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monavano Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 What's the egg situation with Keswick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 What's the egg situation with Keswick? They're still selling eggs, but never have many, especially at this time of year. Rumored to be coated w hand-burnished 22 K goldleaf w yolks the color of pumpkins butternut squash (flesh, roasted), long-standing, regular customers who show up at 9:45 might have the best luck. I've never had the privilege myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the need to treat myself to some of those pumpkin yolks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Erratum: The EGGS are rumored to be gilt and have bright orange yolks, NOT the loyal customers. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. B Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 From the Mt. Pleasant FM Newletter About to lose the Farm? News: Like so many small family farmers and dairy farmers across the country, Keswick Creamery is on the verge of losing their farm. But it’s not that business has been slow– they’re actually growing and getting lots of great press– but Mel’s parents are divorcing, and her father is looking to quickly cash out his half of the farm. If Mel and Mark don’t raise 0,000 by September 1st to buy out their share, the cows, machinery, and land will be put up for auction! To raise money they offering a great deal on a cheese CSA with farmers’ market coupons or home delivery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monavano Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 sorry to report that last week I was told: "no more eggs." Oh shoot! I spoke with Melanie several weeks ago and she said no eggs for a while because they were hatching their own and waiting for hens to grow (or something to that effect). Thanks for the update-I won't be screeching my wheels around Washington Circle to get there before opening then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodeats Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Um, the subscription keeps calling out to me, but I don't consume that much cheese and well, it's nice to split it with someone. So, if anyone wants to split a duke (I think that's the basic one) share, please PM me. I would like to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just thinking out loud here, but Keswick will deliver their cheeses, so you could use it for gifts as well as your own enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, that is true, but I lack friends or colleagues that like cheeses. (I get the <groan> any time I ask friends if they want to order the cheese plate on the menu.) So, I guess I need new friends. (Bribery by cheese?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
