Happy Critters at Nettle Meadow Farm Make for Great Cheese
Nettle Meadow Sanctuary Farm is home to over 130 farm animals and an award-winning cheese company. Located around 30 minutes away from Depe Dene, this wonderful animal oasis offers incredible experiences that will let you get up close and personal with so many quirky creatures. Some animals permanently reside at the farm (production/working herd), while others are available for adoption. They are always searching for donations and items that will help all the animals live their best lives! You can visit their “Farm & Sanctuary” page for more details. We know you are excited to learn more about the spirited animals they care for, so let’s continue.
The cheese shop is open daily, usually from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for cheese sales. Nettle Meadow Farm is committed to the artisanal nature of cheese, making sure to only work with happy animals and the best ingredients. They have won several awards for their semi-aged Kunik, a triple crème wheel made from goat’s milk and cow cream. The cheese selection is vast, and they’ve even curated the perfect recipes using their tasty creations.
You can take tours of the Kemp Sanctuary at Nettle Meadow every Saturday at noon. The tours are free and come packed with farm adventures. Meet the sanctuary animals, the working herds, and even try some of their cheese! Goats, sheep, chickens, cats, and more call the farm home. After the tour, you may become smitten with a sanctuary animal or two, so consider becoming a sponsor. Nettle Meadow Farm is a great place for animal lovers and cheese fanatics. Their mission will certainly warm your heart and become a lifetime memory.
