Frisian Farms Cheese House

Producing fresh and smoked farmstead gouda, Frisian Farms is a small dairy farm located in the prairie heartland of southeastern Iowa.  Frisian Farms is owned and operated by two brothers who come from a long line of dairy farmers originating from the Friesland province in Holland.  At Frisian Farms, the brothers understand that great cheese begins with the best quality milk possible. Milking a small number of Holstein cows that are grass fed throughout the spring and summer, maintained in a clean and comfortable freestall barn during the winter months, the fresh milk is immediately piped from the parlor to an adjacent cheese house where traditional Dutch cheese-making techniques are used to produce Frisian Farmstead Gouda.
