Argyle Cheese Farmer
The challenges facing farms are encouraging farmers to look
for new opportunities. Randles Fairview Farm has been in operation for more
than 150 years. As current partners and caretakers for the future, Dave and
Marge Randles decided to move into the value-added dairy market as a way to
help the farm achieve greater, more controlled rates of return.
With extremely high quality milk on their 50 cow herd, Dave
and Will Randles have an outstanding resource for this type of operation. They
use no synthetic hormones and grow 100% of their forages fed to the cows. This
natural fit is one of the drivers for the addition of the dairy processing
business.
The Argyle Cheese Factory was born after much work and
discussion. Located in Argyle, NY, about 30 minutes from Saratoga Springs,
cheese-maker Marge Randles uses milk produced on-site at the family farm to
create high-quality yogurts and artisan cheeses.
A separate building now houses the equipment that produces
yogurt, cheese and other products. While the product-line is always a
work-in-progress, Marge began with yogurts and has since expanded her line of
products to include cheeses, cheese spreads, cheesecakes, breads, greek yogurt,
gelato and most recently, cultured buttermilk. Argyle Cheese Farmer is also the
first in the area to offer yogurt in a recyclable, returnable glass container.
In addition to being available at our on-site store, you can
purchase Argyle Cheese Famer products at other retailers and farmers’ markets.
