Our Green Story

When you choose Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics Cheese, you are supporting locally owned and operated family farms. We know you’ll appreciate the fact that we use 100% green power, and practice water conservation and recycling. We’re a carbon-negative company, too, which means we produce more power with our bio digester than we use for our dairy and cheese plant.

Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics cheeses not only taste good, they make you feel good about your choice. Our cheese is made from our farm-fresh milk, produced on a state-of-the-art farm with sustainability practices that help preserve the environment for future generations.

Now that you know a little more about our business practices, we hope you’ll join us in the quest for sustainability. We invite you to reuse and recycle our packaging. Most of all though, we invite you to enjoy our cheese.
