Penny Barsch visited our farm this Spring and sent us a recipe that she whipped up using our maple chevre. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
“This is going to sound like an unusual combination but I have a recipe for Pasta Fagioli which I love and I add a spoonful to your maple goat cheese to it when serving. It is heaven! Best of luck with your business
— Penny Barsch
