What others say about us....


"Conscientious farming, raw Jersey cow milk, and the terroir of Galax, VA (elevation 2800 ft) contribute to a beautiful washed-rind cheese. An American Original."
Murray's Cheese Shop, New York, NY
"The Meadow Creek Dairy cheese has had an exceptional ascent. When Helen Feete first began making cheese, she was able to sell it fairly well in her immediate area.... Just a couple of years later, though, the Meadow Creek Dairy cheeses have become the ones people are seeking out."
Laura Werlin, The All American Cheese and Wine Book
"From the hills of southwestern Virginia comes Meadow Creek's outstanding washed-rind, cow's milk cheese, Grayson.... Cheese-makers Rick and Helen have truly outdone themselves this time."
Artisanal Premium Cheese, New York, NY
"Grayson is one of the best new domestic cheeses I've tasted in a long time."
Janet Fletcher of the San Francisco Chronicle
"Supporting our local producers is truly a pleasure when the product is so good."
