According to Anne Topham - Fant�me Farm sits in the midst of beautiful rolling hills near Ridgeway in southwest Wisconsin. It is a small farm with green pastures, a milk house for the goats and a cheese factory where cheeses are made by hand. Fant�me Farm's fresh chevre is made with fresh pasture-raised goats' milk, which is first pasteurized, and then transformed to curd and whey by the addition of select bacterial cultures. The curd is gently hand-ladled into draining cloths and allowed to drain unweighted. After draining, the cheese is weighed, salted and hand-mixed. This clean, exquisitely delicate and fresh tasting cheese is wonderful as a fresh or herbed chevre. And because the cheese is so good in its fresh form, it is exceptional when it is affinaged in the farm's cave. Fant�me Farm sells several varities of fresh, marinated and herbed chevre, as well as aged goat cheeses, at the Dane County Farmers Market in Madison. Call the farm for more information.
