Who We Are

How we started…

More Than Cheese. A Commitment to Connecticut Farms.

Cows Around the Corner was built on a simple belief: when local farms thrive, our communities thrive.

Our journey began with goats. In 2014, Julie and Ron started making handcrafted goat cheeses and yogurt under the name Little Farm on Main. But a few years later, local dairy farmers approached us with a growing problem.

Because of changing market demands and inconsistent milk pickups by large processors, hundreds of gallons of fresh milk were sometimes left without a buyer. Too often, perfectly good milk had nowhere to go.

We knew there had to be a better way.

Rather than watch local farmers struggle, we began transforming their fresh Connecticut cow's milk into handcrafted artisan cheeses and yogurt. Those nearby farms inspired our name—Cows Around the Corner—because many of them truly are just around the corner from our creamery in Bethlehem, Connecticut.

Today, every wheel of cheese represents more than exceptional flavor. It represents local families, working farms, and a commitment to keeping agriculture alive in our region.

We proudly purchase thousands of gallons of milk each year from Connecticut dairy farms, creating small-batch artisan cheeses that celebrate the quality of local ingredients and the people who produce them.

Supporting agriculture isn't just part of our business—it's part of our family's story. The land we call home has been farmed for generations, and we're honored to continue that legacy by helping preserve Connecticut's dairy farms for future generations. We are proud to create a sustainable resource for our community.

Every bite supports a local farm. Every wheel tells a story!
