clayrae Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I am so excited to report that I will be working on Cherry Glen Goat Farm making cheese and helping to sell cheese at the Takoma Park Farmers Market on Sundays. Excellent cheese, made from milk from 400+ goats on 58 acres, just 45 minutes away from DC!

porcupine Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I am so excited to report that I will be working on Cherry Glen Goat Farm making cheese and helping to sell cheese at the Takoma Park Farmers Market on Sundays. Cool! I'm a big fan of the Monocacy Silver and Monocacy Ash cheeses. Cherry Glen deserves some attention. Please keep us posted about any new developments.

Beto Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I really like the Monocacy Silver and Ash also. The grapevine ash is a wonderful counterpoint to the mild tang. Spread it over good French bread and I'm in heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farm is not open to the public but I believe they are trying to organize some tours. I will let you know if and when this comes about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malawry Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Clayrae, if you're at the farm tomorrow, be sure to say hi. Diane is showing me around while I work on a feature on their cheeses for the Frederick News-Post. Bryan Voltaggio turned me on to their products, which really are quite outstanding. (Frederick-area folks can buy the cheeses at My Organic Market and at the Thursday market at Shab Row.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncephine Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey guys, I bought the Monocacy Ash the first week at the Takoma Market, and got a different one (the name escapes me) this week. They were great - good luck! Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkduggins Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I got the Monocacy Ash after a tasting in the Silver Spring Whole Foods. This was a great cheese! Creamy and tart with a bit of charcoal flavor from the ash. I'm liking the ash rind cheeses now, so this was right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 They also make ricotta. Goat ricotta. Got some at Kentlands Farmers Market this morning. It's going into dessert this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I got the Monocacy Ash after a tasting in the Silver Spring Whole Foods. This was a great cheese! Creamy and tart with a bit of charcoal flavor from the ash. I'm liking the ash rind cheeses now, so this was right up my alley. Ah, that's why there wasn't any Monocacy Ash left today! They only had the Monocacy Chipotle, but I didn't have time to ask for a sample. Ended up with another ash/goat cheese whose name escapes me at the moment, but it is firmer and drier. Last week I had the FireFly Farms Buche Noir so I thought I'd try something a little different today. So next time should I go for the Ash or the Chipotle?

Malawry Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Here's a little story I wrote about these overly friendly goats and the cheeses made from their milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayrae Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Fall on the Farm The leaves are changing and the hormones are raging! It is breeding season and, um, love is in the air. Five months from now there will be little kids all over the place. But for now it’s quiet, cold, and dark. (Not quite as dark at 7am though- YAY! turning back the clocks.) The goats are wearing their winter coats, but the milk is still flowing, So there will be plenty of cheese for holiday parties. My adventure on the goat farm continues!

dmwine Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Mmmm. Goat. <drool> No, goat CHEESE! The Monocacy Ash is brilliant. Try it with a nice Chilean sauvignon blanc, or even better, a Linden sauvignon blanc from just across the river in Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodeats Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I introduced the Monocacy Silver tonight to new friends, and needless to say, it was devoured in 10mins or less. Such a beautiful and versatile cheese that went very well with a cheesy beer <rimshot> like Sol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
