Thanks.

O.k. Annelis hasn't called me back this time which makes me think that perhaps she doesn't make the cheese. Out of desperation I started calling down the list for realmilk.com colorado to see if any farmer made a true raw pastured cheese that I could buy locally. I'm telling you if I had any desire I'd start making a raw cheddar and raw jalapeno cheddar because there is a market for it here.
I ended up talking to Joy at the following farm :

Eaton/Galeton: R Patch O' Heaven. Third generation dairy farmers. The six J's (Jon, Joy, Josh, Justin, Jeremiah and Jodel) at R Patch O' Heaven tend to the family business in beautiful Eaton/Galeton, Colorado. They are devoted to bringing you the best product available and that is why they have converted a portion of their dairy farm to provide you with grass-fed, raw cow and goat milk-an old fashion product that is making a big comeback! They have shares in cow and goat milk available from their farm or available thru other share holders in Loveland or Erie, Colorado. For more information please contact them by phone or email.
(970)454-2375, rpatchoheaven@bandrmail.com .

She was interested in starting to make raw cheese and wanted to know if the farmer I bought from in OK would share his recipe. I think he is close to retiring so I thought he might. She is going to call me back after she contacts him if he'll give her some info. Their farm looks to be about 10 minutes north of Greely. I'll post here if I hear back from her.

moneca, I know Annalis doesn't make the cheese for sure. The Mozarella and Ricotta that she sometimes (rarely) has is truely raw and homemade.

That is great about the farm in Greely, I for sure would buy some. I am also in the process of getting some info, it will be next week, from a farm in Longmont that is planning on starting a CSA in the fall, they have goats and I believe they will be offering raw goat cheese, cream and butter among other things. I am going to be talking to them at the end of next week as they are on vaccation until then.

Uccomama - Please let me know if they end up making a true raw cheese. It's shameful how much raw cheese we eat in a week in this house.

Hey you guys, I think ( but I am not 100% sure) that our milk people get raw cheese from their neighbor. Did you guve them a call too?(Julie and Kres Ebert, www.ebertfamilyfarm.com?)

And I thought mozarella had to be heated to make cheese ( again, I can be totally wrong here : ) so how can it be raw?

i get my raw cheese from Vitamin cottage...its raw...but I dont know if it is grassfed....I have been meaning to call them about that...

Julie called me back and said that they don't make their own and I thought she said it wasn't a true raw cheese if I'm remembering correctly (I've talked to too many farmers about this in the last couple days).
I hate to drop some bad news, but Alta Dena and Organic Valley that sell "raw" cheese at Vitamin Cottage heat their milk to 150s and 135 deg. They get away with labeling it raw becuase it does not heat to the official 180 deg mark.

I just got a call back from James Ranch in Durango. They make 4 different cheeses - organic, pastured, not heated over 95 deg. A little glitch for me is that they charge $16 per pound. Here is the link if anyone is interested :

Oh, my cheese farmer in OK will not give his recipe out.

Maybe if some of you call Joy (at the link I posted earlier on this page) and express an interest in a raw pastured cheese she might start making some anyway: .

Yes, they will only sell whole wheel though. She told me shipping to Denver was $10 per wheel and only took one day.

Bummer, sounds like a lot of cheese. I wonder how much a round weighs....

Any of you Colorado mamas have a source for pastured chicken liver, preferably near Denver or Colorado Springs? We'll be back in Colorado for a couple of weeks in July and I'd like to try to pick up some pastured chicken liver--I can't even find natural chicken liver here in Montana, and the conventional chicken liver I've been eating just isn't cutting it.

I buy my organic pastured chicken liver (for $2 per pound if I remember correctly) from here :

I go to the Dacono store which is just a mile off the I25 exit (same as the Erie exit). The only bummer about the chicken products is that the farmer includes soy in the grain that they get when they come inside. This is a link to the farm where the chickens are raised :

It think the smallest was around 10 pounds. Call the woman listed on the site. She was very nice and answered ALL my questions patiently.

So is it any cheaper when you buy a whole wheel? or even more? maybe we could all do co-op?

Sorry, but it's $16 per pound regardless of amount ordered. I asked her about the price if a number of us ordered together for a coop, but no luck.
