Dairy: Goat cheese
Judy and Larry Schad moved their family from the suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1978 to an 80-acre farm in southern Indiana. They later found it had belonged to Larry’s great-great-grandfather in 1870! The Schads had many animals on the farm, but it was dairy goats – friendly, bright and full of mischief – that captured their hearts. By 1982, their 4-H herd provided more milk than they could drink so they starting making cheese. In 1988, they decided to market it, added a small dairy, and for two years leased space in a nearby cheese operation. Attorney Larry milked the goats before and after work, and Judy made cheese in the wee hours of the morning. By 1990, their herd and market had grown and they built their own creamery. Their “family” now includes a closed herd of 400 dairy goats, of which they milk 150 to 200 at any given time to produce a weekly supply of 500 to 700 pounds of fresh, ripened and aged cheeses. Because the Schads live five hours from Chicago, they come to the Market only a few times a month. Judy e-mails customers to let them know when they will be here. Just ask and she will add you to the list.
