There may not be a full moon out tonight, but enjoy this pic of a full wheel of Gubbeen! What a pretty cheese. This Irish stunner is sporting some ridges from the aging rack and a gorgeous pale orange color. Very October coded.

Made by Gianna Ferguson and a team of dedicated cheese professionals, Gubbeen is a semi-firm washed rind cheese made at Gubbeen Farm in Cork County, Ireland. Expect a supple, fudgy bite with notes of mushrooms and freshly picked flowers.

Fun fact for all the microbiology fans out there: a 2001 article in Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology identified a strain of bacteria found ONLY on Gubbeen Farm. It was named in honor of the farm and the cheese: microbacterium gubbeenense. While these kind of site-specific microorganisms are found in cheese caves and dairy farms across the globe, microbacterium gubbeenense helps make Gubbeen a one of a kind wheel of cheese. Give some a try today!

Someone must have cast a heat spell, because this weekend certainly isn’t very autumnal. Could it have been…the OLD WITCH!? 🧙‍♀️

Probably not. Old Witch is a bold, luscious alpine cheese made in Sankt Gallen, Switzerland. It’s the older sister of another bewitching cheese, Red Witch. Both cheeses begin life the same way, but after four months of aging, certain Red Witch wheels are set aside to age for an extra four months. After their extended stay in the cave, wheels of Old Witch are still nicely pudgy, but they develop a delicate sprinkle of tyrosine throughout the paste and a bit of stink on the rind.

Old Witch is perfect for fondue, gratins, and all sorts of similarly melty dishes. It would be also make a phenomenal cheeseburger, ideally one topped with caramelized onions, pickles, and some spicy aioli.

Today’s the last day to get your hands on some of LA’s best pretzels at Milkfarm! In celebration of Oktoberfest, we’re going to have freshly baked pretzels from our friend Colleen. We’ve been offering these for the last few Saturdays and they’re always a hit!

Colleen is a baker extraordinaire and her pretzels are some of the best we’ve ever had. She adds Guinness and brown sugar to the dough, which doesn’t make them sweet but does give the pretzels a burnished exterior, and a complex, caramelized character. All you need is a swipe of mustard and you’ve got a snack that would make Auntie Anne weep. Pick up some tall boys and some brats and you got an at-home Oktoberfest for the ages.

Be sure to get here early to claim your pretzels! Happy Oktoberfest!

Just in time for another (!?!) SoCal heat wave, we’d like to introduce our new FREEZER!

A long time dream of Leah’s, we now have two retail freezers in the shop! Our newest addition has been designated the official savory freezer, stocked with stuff that can be transformed into a meal with minimal prep.

We have an assortment of frozen meals from Domenico’s, including their ready to bake lasagna and eggplant parm. We’ve also begun carrying some delicious pierogi from Matka! Made up in Humboldt County, these pierogi are cheesy, filling and a delight for young and old. Just pan fry in some butter, toss together a salad, and dinner is done. The potato cheese is a classic, but try the jalapeño cheddar for a bit of a kick.

Be sure to check out this new section of the store! We’ll be keeping it well stocked with fun, yummy things for you to enjoy. Peep into our original freezer for frozen sweet treats!

10/01/2026

The spookiest month of the year has finally arrived, and so has one of America’s spookiest cheeses! Fear the reaper, but don’t fear Moses Reaper!

A Halloween twist on Jasper Hill’s beloved brie, Moses Sleeper, Moses Reaper has been coasted with ash to lend a gothic gray to the bloomy rind. Split open a wheel and you’ll find a pumpkin orange interior, thanks to a bit of annatto added to the curd.

Despite the dramatic appearance, Moses Reaper is basically identical to standard wheels of Moses Sleeper. Use anywhere you’d like a fudgy, mushroomy brie; it goes without saying this is a must have for any Halloween get-together. Consider pairing with a box of Black Square crackers for a terrifyingly tasty cheese plate.

We serve up a lot of sandwiches, and we love each and every one of them. But there’s one sandwich that ends up becoming lunch for multiple mongers anytime we offer it: LIL’ MORTY!

A delicious combination of mortadella, strachiatella, lemon olive oil, and roasted pistachios, this sandwich is perfectly balanced, creamy and crunchy, decadent and refreshing. Three cheers for mortadella, one of the MVPs of any Italian deli and the ultimate sandwich charcuterie.

These usually disappear from the sandwich case right away, so stop by soon (or call us to claim one!). Happy Wednesday!

09/29/2026

One of Switzerland’s most beloved cheeses, Appenzeller is a pungent and luscious alpine perfect for almost any occasion: slice for a sandwich, melt over potatoes, or enjoy as is on a cheese plate. We’re currently carrying a wheel of Purple Label Appenzeller, aged for just under a year.

On a wheel of this size, a year of aging produces a cheese studded with crystals and sporting a bit of flake. The flavor profile has a kick compared to younger wheels; expect notes of roast cashews and sautéed leeks with a touch of stink from that famously secret herbed brine used to wash the rind.

And yes, all purchases of a half pound or more will come with a set of Appenzeller cheese prongs! Truly some of the nicest free merch we’ve ever gotten. Try some today!

Oktoberfest is here and Olympia Provisions has provided us with the perfect sausage for the occasion: Oktoberfest Brats!

These wurst (German for sausage) are Olympia’s take on Kartoffelwurst, a pork sausage with a bit of potato added to the meat. It makes every sausage a meal in itself! Olympia seasons these brats with caraway and smokes them over a proprietary blend of hardwoods. The smoke is gentle and the seasoning on point, with the potato adding some phenomenal texture to the wurst.

Serve these brats alongside some sauerkraut and strong mustard. Whether you grill these sausages or steam with onions and l***r is entirely up to you.

One of the best Bries in the case has traveled over 5,000 miles to get here, crossing not only the Atlantic Ocean but the entire continental US to arrive at Milkfarm. Made by hand and carefully aged, Baron Bigod is made of milk from a hand-selected herd of Montbéliarde cows, who graze in well-tended meadows eating a diverse diet of grass, herbs, and flowers. It should come as no surprise that Baron Bigod comes from…Fen Farm Dairy of Suffolk County in the East of England!

Yep, much like the US, the UK has many artisan creameries that are creating an original variation on a classic cheese, in this case, a wheel of Brie de Meaux, one of France’s protected AOC cheeses. Named for a tenth century nobleman who was awarded land for helping William the Conqueror, Baron Bigod is complex, decadent, and an excellent example of farmstead British cheesemaking.

Serve as simply as possible; this cheese is a rarity outside of the UK and it should be savored as is. That said, a baked Baron Bigod would be the star of a Great British Bakeoff watch party, maybe topped with some honey and chopped almonds as a dessert course.

It’s the final Saturday in September, and you’ve got another chance to score some delicious pretzels for Oktoberfest. Swing by Milkfarm TODAY to pick up some of these freshly baked, hand twisted pretzels!

It’s been a real delight to showcase the exceptional baking skills of our good friend Colleen. She developed a savory pretzels dough that uses brown sugar and Guinness to develop a complex, malty, caramelized flavor. These are truly some of the best pretzels we’ve ever had and they never taste better than the morning they were baked.

Fair warning: these will disappear quickly! Either stop by early or give us a call to claim a couple for pickup.

Welcome back one of Vermont’s finest alpine cheeses, Woodlawn Creamery’s Rupert! It’s been a while since this cheese has been in the case, and it’s great to taste it again.

Rupert is produced in Vermont’s Mettawee Valley, where the Leach family has farmed for nearly 200 years. The creamery has been overseen by seven generations of the Leach family. This is a farmstead cheese, produced onsite from the farm’s own herd of cows.

This aged alpine cheese maintains a creamy, made-to-melt interior beneath its smooth, gray rind. A great team player on any cheese board, Rupert’s savory richness is perfect for melting in paninis or grating into mac and cheese.

Need some butter? Milkfarms got ya covered with the best of the best!

For the bakers, we have blocks of Beurremont unsalted cultured butter. The low moisture content is perfect for any baked good, from pie crusts to cinnamon rolls, and the lack of salt makes it a nice base for compound butters.

For the bread and butter baddies, there’s the gold foil wrapped rounds of imported Beurre de Baratte. The complex flavor and decadent texture makes supermarket butter seem tasteless in comparison. Dinner rolls, sourdough, blueberry muffins; all will improve with a smear of this awesome French butter.

And Velvet Bees’ Honey Butter? What is there to say? If you’re making cornbread or a batch of biscuits, grab a jar and don’t look back.

We can’t think of a dinner host who would be mad at receiving some nice butter as a housewarming gift…think of it as a dry alternative to a bottle of w**e!

Milkfarm’s Oktoberfest celebrations continue this Saturday with another batch of our friend Colleen’s Pretzels! 🥨 If you still haven’t tried these, be sure to snag one this weekend.

Colleen adds Guinness and brown sugar to these savory pretzels to develop some real deep caramelized flavor in the dough as they bake. The jumbo sized salt crystals provide pops of salinity and a gentle crunch. Pick up a bottle of Bavarian mustard and a pack of bratwurst for a true taste of Oktoberfest.

If you’d like to preorder some, be sure to call the shop by the end of the day to reserve your pretzels. They make a great gift…C’mon, is there anyone who wouldn’t love one of these twisted beauties?

Is it cake? Is it ice cream? Is it….fried chicken?? No, yes, and no! Say hello to the Not Fried Chicken ice cream bar, now in the Milkfarm freezer.

Yup, that golden brown drumstick is not chicken…it’s a delicious ice cream bar! Made by Life Raft Treats in Charleston, SC, this frozen novelty tastes as fun as it looks. Made of waffle ice cream surrounding a chocolate cookie bone, the crust is achieved with cornflakes and caramelized white chocolate.

Stop by for some Not Fried Chicken and amaze your family and friends with this incredibly realistic ice cream bar. Find them in the freezer near the front door.

Here at the Milkfarm Instagram, we try our hardest to write thoughtful captions that educate our followers and celebrate the wonderful range of foods we offer to the cheese-loving public. But sometimes, there’s simply nothing like hearing directly from the people who make the things we sell.

That why, to celebrate the return of Parish Hill Creamery’s Galactic to our case, we wanted to share this passage from the Parish Hill website, written by Rachel Fritz Schaal about this incredible cheese in 2023:

“These wild things are dense and fudgy with a ripe layer beneath glorious croste di formaggi, a white fluffy coat dappled with blue, grey, and even the dun molds one might have found on a brie from 150 years ago.

Galactic is not mild, not innocuous. When just ripe, we taste bacon and sour cream, pine duff, love. Like rind? This one bites back.

We pull 250 pounds of milk off of the big vat, making just 30 pounds of Galactic every other week. There isn’t much of it, but it is worth seeking out. We send what we can to shops with wicked cheese geeks at the helm, I take it to our local farmers markets, and some folks come out to the creamery to get their wedge.”

As a shop staffed solely by wicked cheese geeks, we’re thrilled that we got our hands on this pristine wheel of Galactic! Stop by to try some ASAP; once it’s gone, the quickest way to get more will be to fly to Vermont.

Happiest of birthdays to the one, the only, my friend and yours, ALYSSA! Be sure to pass on some birthday greetings if you see her in the shop today!

One of the newer members of the Milkfarm staff, Alyssa has been an invaluable addition to the shop. A veteran of kitchens across LA and beyond, Alyssa is a Swiss Army knife, able to tackle any task with aplomb. She’s funny and smart and always makes the workday a little more fun.

She’s beloved by our regulars and seems to know more people in Northeast LA than the candidates for mayor. Enjoy these pics of a staff trip to last night’s production of Heated Rivalry: The Musical at The Elysian. Alyssa wouldn’t have missed that performance for the world!

From cans of Märzen, Munich’s beloved Oktoberfest b**r, to bratwurst from Olympia Provisions, if you’re looking to celebrate the season, be sure to stop by Milkfarm!

We’re also going to be stocked with pretzels, baked and hand-twisted by our friend Colleen. They’re going to be available first-come, first-served this morning, but if you’d like to reserve some for the next two Saturdays (Sept 26 and Oct. 3), just give us a call!

It’s always a delight to host cheesemakers from across the country, especially when they come all the way from Missouri! We had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Hoffman, founder of Green Dirt Farm and maker of some phenomenal sheep cheese!

Since starting the farm in 2002, Sarah has won acclaim for her sheep’s milk cheeses (be sure to try Dirt Lover, an ash ripened bloomy rind cheese, if you ever see it in the shop). Prairie Tomme is one of the only aged wheels they make, and it’s a true standout: closely resembling cheeses like Manchego and Patski Sir, Prairie Tomme is dense, dry, and nutty. It’s delicious sliced up on a cheeseboard, but can also be grated into pastas and risottos.

It means a lot to us that big names in cheese seek out our little shop when they’re in Southern California. We’re proud to represent companies like Green Dirt, and we love introducing their tasty products to the cheese lovers of Los Angeles. Stop by next time you’re in Eagle Rock; the person who made your cheese just may be in the shop!

Oktoberfest is nearly upon us and Milkfarm will be bringing in a batch of one of our favorites: freshly baked pretzels!

These burnished beauties are made by our good friend and local baker Colleen (Colleen DeLee). She adds Guinness and brown sugar to these savory pretzels to develop some real deep caramelized flavor in the dough as they bake. The jumbo sized salt crystals provide pops of salinity and a gentle crunch. Pick up a bottle of Bavarian mustard and maybe some Landrauschinken and you may as well be in Munich.

These pretzels are going to be available this Saturday, September 19th (the first day of Oktoberfest!) and for the next few Saturdays. While the numbers are set for this Saturday, we can take preorders for the coming weekends, should you need a dozen or so for your own Oktoberfest bash.

Happy Mexican Independence Day! Milkfarm is stocked with some fantastic Mexican foods to help you celebrate the holiday.

On the cheese front, we are well stocked with Mexican cheeses from Quesos Navarro. Panela, Menonita, Oaxaca…we’ve got it all! We’re particularly excited to have aged cotija in the shop, the crumbly, salty cheese that many Mexicans use as a finishing cheese. Check out the texture on that wedge!

It was an honor to host Rodolfo Navarro from Quesos Navarro yesterday. He’s a sweet guy and his family’s cheeses are some of Mexico’s best.

We’re also carrying a few goodies from closer to home: avocado salsa and butter tortillas from El Machete! This local company pops up at various farmers’ markets across LA, with an assortment of salsas, tortillas, and totopos. We’re currently carrying their Avacado Salsa, made with those wonderful avocados from Mexico. Check out this BTS kitchen pic from Leah when she picked up the salsas.

To mop up the salsa, pick up a pack of rich, flaky butter tortillas! Perfect for tacos or quesadillas, this specialty of Northern Mexico may look simple, but one bite and you’ll regret not buying two packs.

¡Viva Mexico!

One of America’s best hams is now in the Milkfarm meat case. From the meaty minds at Olympia Provisions comes Landrauchschinken! Hard to say, so easy to love!

Landrauchschinken is Olympia’s take on a Swiss country smoked ham. A nicely marbled pork loin, fat cap and all, is brined for over two weeks, then gets a soak in a burnt sugar solution. The marinated loins are coated with rosemary and juniper before getting smoked over apple and hickory wood. The end result is a luscious ham that’s a bit like a porky pastrami: herbaceous, smoky and tender, perfect for sandwiches but irresistible by the slice.

Leah’s recent tour of the Berkshires led her to High Lawn Farm in Western Massachusetts, and yes, she brought back cheese! Check out this spread of products from High Lawn, now available in the shop!

On the cheese front, we have three aged wheels, Siegfried’s Pride and Wilde Field, both made with the farm’s legendary Jersey cow’s milk. Siegfried’s Pride is rubbed down with an herb-infused brandy wash, which lends a butterscotch character to the ultrarich interior. It gets its name from a prized Jersey bull that sired hundreds of productive milk cows. Wilde Field, named for the farm’s founders, Marjorie Field and Col. George Wilde, is washed in a locally made Hazy IPA from Antimony Brewing. Wilde Field is dense and fudgy, almost cheddary, but with a lovely hit of funk from the b**r wash. Lastly, there’s a wheel of Crema Alpina, a pudgy washed rind brick that’s like the most luscious, flowy wheel of Taleggio you’ve ever tried.

We also have BUTTER! Made from the same rich Jersey milk as the cheese, this stuff is incredible. You’ll fly through a block and be sad you can’t get more.

Many thanks to the fine folks at High Lawn for their dedication to the cows and the milk they give. If you’re ever in Western Massachusetts, be sure to stop by!

Cheese lovers of Los Angeles, get excited! Due to the incredible dairy dedication of our founder, Leah Park, we have some very special cheeses in the case that NEVER make their way to Southern California. If you want a true taste of East Coast terroir, stop by Milkfarm!

During a recent visit to the Berkshires, Leah tried so many exceptional cheeses she knew she had to bring some back for our beloved customers. That’s right, Leah brought back several pounds of cheese on her return flight; these cheeses were on the farm just two days ago! Be sure to check out our story highlights to relive her adventure in the Berkshires.

First up are these two cheeses from New York’s Chaseholm Farm Creamery. The creamery is just one part of Chaseholm Farm, a fully organic dairy farm where the cows are fully grass fed. 3rd generation owner Sarah Chase converted the entire farm to grass based production in the 2010’s, and this focus on land management and sustainable agriculture produces rich, flavorful milk that could have only come from one place: Chaseholm Farm.

We’ve got a few wheels of Moonlight, an ashed log of tangy, soft ripened cheese that a bit like a Loire Valley chèvre made with cow’s milk instead of goat. We also have a very limited supply of Farmer’s Cheese, fresh unaged cheese that’s dreamy, creamy, and crying out to be slathered on a bagel or shortbread cookie.

We recommend stopping by ASAP to claim some of this cheese. Once these beauties are gone, they’re gone!
