Yogurt, ice cream and cheese lovers unite! Family-owned dairy farm Superstition Farm in Mesa has launched a campaign to complete a community micro-creamery so not only they can produce cheese, yogurt and other dairy products but where other small businesses can also produce their foods, like juices, goat’s milk, butter and more. The farm’s mission is to produce delicious dairy and to educate children and families how and where food originates – not the grocery store!In addition to including a viewing window into the kitchen where tour groups can see the process of making butter, cheeses, yogurts and other foods, the micro-creamery will have a milking and demonstration parlor so that visitors and school tours can milk cows and learn about the milk-development process.
The kitchen, which has already began construction, needs these items to be complete:
- A Vat Light Pasteurizer
- The closed packaging system
- Packaging
- Marketing
- “…and all the other pieces to put it all together.”
Valley restaurants who source from Superstition Farm (like national favorite Pizzeria Bianco) will be able to serve the creamery’s products on their menu and according to the campaign “will have the opportunity to…collaborate with us creatively to highlight all of the outstanding foods being made in Arizona and commission special varieties of cheeses to be made that they wouldn’t otherwise find locally.”
