Potsdam Food Co-op Hosts Tasting
Nettle Meadow Farm Locally Produced Artisanal Goat Cheeses
Friday, April 11, 11 am – 1 pm
The Potsdam Food Co-op invites community members to visit the Cooperative, located at 24 Elm Street in Potsdam Village, to sample two varieties of Nettle Meadow’s artisanal, spreadable goat cheese, and Fromage Frais. The Co-op hosts cheese samplings on the second Friday of each month and offers a 10% discount on the cheese featured for the entire month.
Nettle Meadow, originally founded in 1990, is both a farm and an animal sanctuary in Thurman, NY. Located in the lower Adirondacks, the business operates a retail shop and a tavern in Lake Luzerne, which is open to visitors year-round. The business has won dozens of awards for its 40 varieties of artisanal sheep and goat cheeses. In 2022, the farm was completely renovated, and a best-in-class cheese production facility was built where the business can produce 8x more cheese than at their original facility.
