Welcome to Beltane Farm's website. Beltane Farm makes a variety of artisanal, farmstead goat milk cheese on our farm in Lebanon, Connecticut. Although our award winning fresh Chevre is our most popular cheese, we also make a number of fine French style ripened cheeses as well as Feta. Our Oberhasli and La Mancha goats are milked twice daily and provide the milk for our cheese.

Our goat milk and cheeses are available at many weekly farmers' markets within Connecticut during the spring, summer and fall and at a number of retail outlets throughout the state. (See Shopping for details)

December 20th Cheese Tasting has been cancelled

due to the snow. We apologize for any inconvenience.

During the spring and the fall, we also have cheese tastings right at the farm. The cheese tastings provide an opportunity to sample our seasonal selections and to meet the goats, cheese makers, and Nestor the donkey as well as other members of our farm family.

Our 2009 Fall Cheese Tastings will begin on October 11th and continue every Sunday through December 20th. Tastings are from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm here at the farm. We are featuring special farm cheeses, goat milk soaps, pottery.

Gift baskets of our cheese can be purchased and delivered through the Artisan Store

Please see directions page for specifics. If you would like to be included in our e-mail distribution, please send us your email address.

All of our cheeses are made from pasteurized goat milk from our hormone- free goats that are raised on local hay and grass. The goats do not receive prophylactic antibiotics and our cheeses contain no animal rennet.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our web site and look forward to seeing you soon.
