Overview
Balfour Farm has grown from a large family homestead to a thriving dairy business in Maine. We started in the dairy business in 2000 with 1 cow and have operated up to a 50 cow dairy over the years. We now are ‘right sized’ at 15 cows and all of our milk is made into cheeses and yogurts. We are self taught and have attended many workshops over the years as well as found great benefit in being a member of the Maine Cheese Guild. We are always seeking new opportunities to continue to learn and grow in our craft. We appreciate the seasonal changes that are reflected in our products’ flavors and textures. Each season growing and caring for our animals brings us new challenges and opportunities to develop our skills in animal husbandry and cheesemaking. The dairy is the heartbeat of our farm. We participate in the Portland farmers’ market year round. You can find our products at various farm stands, specialty grocery stores, and co-ops throughout Maine and other states. Our Facebook page is very active with daily updates of life on the farm. Our website offers online ordering for the farm store and preorders for farmers markets pickups. Visitors are welcome to tour the farm on Open Farm Day, Open Creamery Day and during other scheduled events.
