RAISED, GRAZED, AnD MADE IN BANGOR, PA
Nestled on 65 acres back from the road, surrounded by a sea of green orchard grass grown for our sheep to eat, with view of the Delaware Water Gap and surrounding mountains and hills, the Creamery is part of Raspberry Ridge Sheep Farm. We have raised sheep on the farm since 1995 and began producing cheese from their milk in 2017. Our 65 acres farm was extended by 12 acres in the spring of 2024 with the purchase of land next to our farm. The new land will give the sheep additional land to graze.
SPRING LAMBS
The lambs are born around Valentines day and live with their mothers. We have two flocks of sheep, one for the dairy and one for the sheep dog training center.
Our dairy products are made from 100% sheep’s milk. The sheep eat pasture in the summer months, and in the winter they eat hay and a mixture of alfalfa, oats and barley. We believe a pasture diet leads to healthier animals and better cheese. Although we’re not organically certified, we don’t use pesticides and rely on natural practices to maintain our pastures and flock.
Herd management
Sheep dogs live with us and help with the daily tasks of of managing the sheep. We have border collies and German shepherd dogs. Alexander, our camel protects our livestock. How does a camel protect livestock you ask? Local predators have never seen or smelled a camel so they do not know what to make of him and stay away.
