Happy Goats. Great Cheese!

Nettle Meadow Farm is a 50 acre goat and sheep dairy and cheese company in Thurman, New York just below Crane Mountain in the Adirondacks between Gore Mountain/North Creek, New York and Warrensburg, New York. It is owned and operated by Lorraine Lambiase and Sheila Flanagan. Both have a great love of animals, goat cheese and the simplicity and challenges of farm life. Our farm is run with the assistance of farm manager, Stephen Hitchcock, assistant manager Sam Saunders, and Joan Flanagan. Nettle Meadow Farm was originally founded in 1990 and is the home of 300 goats, several dozen sheep and a variety of farm sanctuary animals. Visit our Farm & Sanctuary page to learn more.

Nettle Meadow is committed to the principles of natural ingredients, happy and healthy animals, and carefully hand-crafted artisan cheeses. We make several varieties of soft goat cheeses including Lightly Salted Chevre, Tellicherry Pepper and Lemon Verbena Chevre, Chevre with Mixed Herbs, Horseradish, Olive Oil and Garlic Chevre, Maple Walnut Chevre, Pumpkin Spice Chevre and Herb, Pepper and Garlic Chevre as well as Fromage Blanc, Honey Lavender Fromage Blanc, and Rosemary Infused Fromage Blanc. We are also well known for our semi-aged cheeses, including triple crème Kunik made from goat milk and Jersey cow cream, and Crane Mountain made from 100% goat milk. Our most recent creation, Three Sisters (named after Three Sisters mountains which overshadow our farm), is made from farmstead sheep, goat and Jersey cow milk. Visit our Cheeses page for more information.
