Our Cheese

Nettle Meadow is home to more than 40 award-winning cheeses!  Kunik, a trademarked and true American original cheese has received more accolades and awards than we can list here. Also in our collection are other award-winning originals: Adironjack, Sugar Loaf, and Honey Lavender Fromage Blanc.

Have you ever dreamed of being part of an award-winning artisan creamery rooted in Adirondack heritage?

At Nettle Meadow Creamery, nestled in the hills of Lake Luzerne, we’re at a pivotal moment — and we’re inviting mission-aligned investors to help shape our future.

Last month at the 2025 American Cheese Society Awards, our iconic Kunik and fan-favorite Honey Lavender Fromage Frais each won 1st Place in their categories, a testament to the quality and distinctiveness that have defined Nettle Meadow for decades!

Now’s the time to build, not pull back. If our mission speaks to you — or you know someone who might want to be part of our next chapter — please reach out! We’d love to talk.
