About Us
Northland Sheep Dairy is a small, 100% grass based farm located 30 miles east of Ithaca, New York. We milk a small flock of crossbred sheep selected to thrive on our native pastures. Our animals are not fed any grain or by-products -- they are 100% grass-fed and handled using low stress management techniques.
We produce truly handmade sheep cheese on the farm, using only our own raw sheep milk from 100% grass fed animals. We produce a number of hard and soft cheeses, and we sell almost exclusively to our local community.
A certified organic butcher processes our meats, and we take great care to ensure that the animals are handled and processed humanely with no stress. Our meats are dry-aged for maximum tenderness and flavor. Our lamb, mutton, and beef are 100% grass fed, and our pork is produced on pasture with whey from our own cheesemaking operation.
