Ballard Family Dairy & Cheese
We started our small dairy nine years ago with just a few Jersey calves and the belief that loving, personal care and a healthy diet would result in both a superior quality milk and contented cows.
Since then, our registered Jersey herd has grown and thrived on our family-run farm in Gooding, Idaho, producing award-winning milk that is distinctive and rich in taste.
Believing that "America Loves Cheese" more than ever, we decided to turn our love for Jersey cows into an artisan product that we could share with you - handmade specialty cheese.
After extensive research, consulting and taking cheesemaking classes, we designed and built a dedicated cheese facility on our farm in 2003, and our first batch of cheddar cheese was created in the spring of 2004. You can now find our products in many of your favorite stores and farmer's markets in Magic and Treasure Valley.
We hope you will enjoy our cheese - handmade from the milk of our Jerseys!
