Our hard work every day is embedded in a larger context:

That of working to liberate Main Street from Wall Street through local artisan cheeses!

This vision, both bold and humble,
is rooted in a conviction that food connects us with many vital parts of our lives,
from ecology, to justice, to the political economy, to one another, to other species,
and that by embedding ourselves in place in sustainable ways,
each of these dimensions can become more vital.

As we work to renew “Main Street,” we are cognizant of how “Wall Street” has failed us.
Vibrant and lively local economies with local agriculture at the center can help
to usher in a new generative economy and bid farewell to outdated economic systems.
For example, we think:

The following principles guide many of our decisions at Main Street Cheese:

Grass-Based Diet:
we plan to provide the goats plenty of access to pasture.
Though we need to wait for the studies on goats, it is probable that milk from grass-fed goats,
like grass-fed cattle, has significantly higher levels of
beneficial omega-3 fats and conjugated linoleic acid,
both related to heart health in humans.

Ecological restoration, carbon sequestration, and holistic livestock management:
we are working towards a rotational grazing plan to build the soil and sequester carbon.
