This Week at the Market: Cherry Glen Goat Cheese/Palmyra Farm Cheese

We're big fans of Cherry Glen Goat Cheese and Palmyra Farm Cheese. We take it on road trips. When we see it touted as an ingredient in restaurants, we order those dishes. We've been known to make a midnight snack out of a spoon of Chesapeake spread or a slice of Monocacy Ash. We're true fans. This Saturday, visit Will and find out what all the fuss is about. He can guide you to a cheese that's just right for you...or if you feeling adventurous, pick a few that you haven't yet tried and become a fan!

This Week at the Market: Cherry Glen Goat Cheese/Palmyra Farm Cheese

There are a lot of things I love about my job at Cheverly Community Market -- the chance to meet new customers, learn about local agriculture, get to know our farmers -- but I have a confession to make. The thing I love most? Tasting all the amazing food. After all, the food is why we're here, right? As I write this, I am enjoying a delicious, juicy Empire Red apple from Reberts. I am dipping it in Palmyra Knob Hill Chambourcin Cheese Spread. It's a great combination, and one I'd probably never have tried without the opportunity to talk to vendors and purchase these wonderful products at Cheverly Community Market. This weekend, why not pick up a few varieties of cheese from Palmyra FarmCheese /Cherry Glen Goat Cheese (we're partial to the Monocacy Ash, the Chesepeake Bay Cheddar and this great Chambourcin spread), some varieties of apples and pears you haven't tried before, maybe a baguette or two and enjoy the amazing combinations of flavors that only you can create!

One of the great pleasures of the 2012 Market season has been enjoying the wonderful cheeses from Cherry Glen Goat Cheese and Palmyra Farm Cheese. Each one has a distinctive personality, and many an evening has been spent lingering over glasses of wine, chunks of cheese and a bit of crusty bread or some crackers as we plan new activities and new ways to make Cheverly Community Market even better. Really, this is a good life :)

Stop by and visit Cherry Glen and Palmyra this Saturday at Cheverly Community Market and stock up on these fantastic cheeses -- we know that you'll be inspired to think grand thoughts, too!

This Week at the Market: Cherry Glen Goat Cheese and Palmyra Cheese

It's almost lunch time. I bet you're sitting at your desk getting hungry and the photos of fresh produce have only served to get you thinking about all the things you could buy for lunch. But nothing is quite what you want. This sandwich has a sauce that's bland, that salad has all sorts of stuff you just don't like... Let me suggest this for next week (or this week, if you have shown remarkable restraint and haven't consumed every last thing you bought on May 19!) Why not take your lunch to work next week? Using fresh ingredients from Cheverly Community Market, you can make a far better lunch than you can buy in a lunch shop -- and it will be exactly what YOU want. And why not make the foundation of a few of those delicious homemade lunches fresh cheese from Cherry Glen Goat Cheese and Palmyra Cheese?

Saturday, Cherry Glen will be bringing fresh Chevre, fresh Ricotta, lots of Gold Brie Ash, Chipolte and Silver, and a few Crottin.  Palmyra will be bringing Chesapeake Cheddar, as well as cheese spreads (I highly recommend the blueberry!) and more... 

Get all the makings of the best lunches you can have -- exactly the way you want -- at Cheverly Community Market this Saturday!

New Vendor: Cherry Glenn Cheese/Palmyra Cheese

"New" is something of a misnomer here -- way back in 2008, Cheverly Community Market used to sell Cherry Glen Goat Cheese and it was very popular with our customers. We're so glad to have them back with us...and they're bringing along Palmyra Farm Cheese, too! Let's put this one in the "what's old is new again" category!


Cherry Glen Farm produces hyper-fresh farmstead goat cheese in their solar creamery in Boyds, Maryland. Cherry Glen Farms strives to keep the dream of local, responsible, sustainable food alive by milking twice a day seven days per week. They do not import milk from a third party and they feed their 800 goats, milk and care for them while controlling the process from beginning to end. This is how Cherry Glen can produce an award-winning hyper fresh goat cheese that rockets from the farm directly to your table. Cherry Glen silver is mild and sweet. The ash is tangy.The chipotle is bold and smoky.Cherry Glen's divine gold is creamy and luscious. The French crottin is a show stopper and has an earthy mild flavor profile. They do not use animal rennet so no animal by- products go into the production of the cheese and vegetarians rave about the cheese. Cherry Glen is a solar facility and they are constantly striving to lower their carbon footprint.



Palmyra Farm Cheese is a local family farm located near Hagerstown, MD. Some 300 purebred registered dairy cows call the farm their home. Palmyra farm only uses whole milk produced by its cows to make its 100 percent pure pasteurized cheeses. Their cheeses are farmstead artisan cheeses and come in several variations.

The week, Barret Lang and his team will have a terrific selection of fresh goat cheese from Cherry Glen, including fresh chevre, fresh ricotta and Goat Brie -- all vegetarian-safe. They'll also have vegetarian-safe cow cheese from Palmyra, including fresh feta, Chesapeake cheddar and two amazing spreads: Dill and Blueberry. 

Visit with Barret and the good people of Cherry Glen and Palmyra this Saturday at Cheverly Community Market, and help us welcome some new "old" friends!
