Goat Cheeses, Unique Jams and Jellies About Us At our dairy we strive to produce goat cheese that provides the down to basic goodness found in low temperature pasteurization. Our family and visitors enjoy watching the playful antics of our milking ladies and their kids as they frolic and play at our farm. Since immigrating from Sweden in the 1800's, the Olson family has raised livestock and farmed land near Madrid which was originally named Swede Point. Our Grandmother, Ellen Olson was known for her artisan butter making in the 1920's and 1930"s. From 1940-1960's the family milked cows and sold cream. At that time a cream truck collected cream from local farms and hauled it to the creamery for processing. Today owner Paula Olson runs Swede Point Creamery featuring goats, goat cheeses and several varieties of chèvre. Why goat cheese? Compared to cheeses made from cow milk goat cheese has fewer calories, more vitamins and minerals, its lower in sodium, and easier to digest. Try some! When time allows we can jellies. When my twin daughters would follow me in the garden and pick small tomatoes, snowpeas, green beans and eat them right there, I knew then I couldn't use chemicals in the garden. That was 13 years ago. We practice chemical free handling of all seeds and crops as well as mulching and hand weeding to control weeds. We also utilize many practices to promote soil and water conservation to insure a farming future for my daughters. Our produce and fruits are currently only available to our CSA members.
