Seacrest Foods International, Inc. is proud to serve as the exclusive Northeast Distributor for Old Chatham Sheepherding Company, the largest sheep dairy farm in the country. Located in New York's Hudson River Valley, the farm began in 1994 with a flock of 150 sheep. There are now more than 1200 East Fresian crossbred sheep grazing on 600 acres of pastures.

Sheep on the farm graze on lush organically managed pastures, and are fed whole grains and hay from the farm, producing the best quality grade A milk. Milked twice a day in a custom milking parlor, each ewe yields about 1 1/2 quarts of sweet flavored, naturally homogenized milk.

In the state-of-the-art creamery, Old Chatham's experienced cheese makers skillfully turn small batches of fresh milk into a variety of handcrafted artisan cheeses and yogurts. The milk is pasteurized; culture and vegetable rennet transform the milk into curds and whey. Soft ripened cheeses are put in a salt brine bath, then carefully removed and transferred onto racks for curing. The cheeses are turned daily allowing each piece to cure evenly. Some cheeses are cured for several days while others take a few weeks. Each piece of cheese is hand wrapped in special paper and labeled with the distinctive black sheep logo.
