Back Forty Artisan Cheese

Back Forty Artisan Cheese www.artisancheese.ca In 2018 Back Forty started making cheeses with raw water buffalo milk and introduced the new Calabogie Blue Cheese and Little Antoines.

Founded in 2000, Back Forty is a small creamery, cheese shop, and tasting bar located on a farm in the hamlet of Mississippi Station Ontario. Using traditional old world methods and 100% natural unpasteurized sheep’s milk, each cheese is made by hand in small batches and then carefully tended to and aged from two to 12 months. In our petite fromagerie we produce six ewe’s milk cheeses: Flower Stat

ion, Madawaska, Bonnechere, Highland Blue, Ompah, and Pecorino Verona. In addition to select quality restaurants and fine food retailers across Ontario, you can purchase Back Forty Artisan Cheese direct from Jeff and Jenna Fenwick at their dairy and cheese shop. The Cheese Shop and Tasting Room is open Fridays from 3pm-7pm and Saturdays from 11am- 6pm. The new outdoor kitchen and tasting bar now serves a seasonal farm-to-table menu, including wood-oven pizzas, and the newly licensed riverside patio features Ontario craft beer, cider, and wine.
