Fourth of July Farmers' Market Offerings

Independence Day isn't exactly known for cheese feasting, but it is definitely the time for outdoor feasting and picnic fare enjoyment. Why not shake up your 4th of July festivities by serving an all Prairie Fruits Farm cheese plate along with your local burgers and brats? 
This Saturday we will be attending THREE Farmers' Markets: Urbana's Market at the Square, Oak Park Farmers' Market and Downtown Bloomington Farmers' Market.  For those of you who live in Chicago, please note that we won't be atteding the Green City Market this Saturday.

We will be bringing a limited selection of cheeses this weekend, and we have some cheeses on sale.  The extreme heat took its toll on our aging rooms last week, resulting in uneven aging of our bloomy rind cheeses, "Angel Food" and "Little Bloom on the Prairie." The Angel Food ripened too fast and it is VERY runny. If you love to eat brie style cheese with a spoon, your ship has come in this week. Alternatively, the Little Bloom on the Prairie is more firm than normal. The taste is still wonderful, but the outer edges don't have their normal gooey deliciousness. Both of these cheeses are on sale this week.

Other cheeses available this week:
Fresh chevre--plain,herbed and cracked pepper GREAT FOR DOTTING A FARMERS' MARKET SALAD OR ROASTED BEETS
Limited availability of our whole goat milk ricotta--remember, we only make ricotta once per month. Once you taste it, you'll be hooked.
Roxanne, our raw sheep milk brebis style cheese
Ewe Bloom, our soft-ripened sheep milk cheese

Happy 4th of July!!
