History

Established in 2008.

Now into our 8^th year, we started ans made only a Bulgarian type Feta cheese. We made that Feta exclusively for the first two years. Now we have added Danish Hansen which is a bloomy rind Italian Tome style cheese. We added Cranberry/​orange, Garlic/​dill, Wild Horsey, Cinnamon/​basil and a few others that folks in central Ohio enjoy.

Tom milks the goats (8 at a time) and Emma makes the cheese. We have expanded this year and will probably expand next year too. (2016) Look for us exclusively in Central Ohio. Bexley Natural, Weilands, Health in Hand, in Lancaster, The Harvest in Mt. Vernon to name a few!

Meet the Business Owner

Emma J. S.

Business Owner

Emma Stout, cheese maker for Osage Lane Creamery, Ltd. made cheese on her stove in one gallon batches when they only had three milk goats. Now she makes cheese in 30 – 40 gallon batches.

Having grown up on farms, both Tom and Emma wanted to get back to the farm when they married 33 years ago. On a nine acre farm north of Newark, Ohio, they began raising vegetables, children and selling brown eggs. An egg customer diagnosed with cancer asked them to supply her with raw milk. One goat led to many more.

After buying a large herd and sending milk to Wisconsin for 14 months, the need arose to do something with lots of milk. Building the cheese plant was a big undertaking. Learning to make cheese was not easy but they persevered. No vegetables or children to raise and only cheese and milk to sell, they continue.
