Northwest Ohio's Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Goat Cheese

WAUSEON — They have names like Banana and Jive, and they make cheese.

Technically, they only provide the milk that is turned into the cheese. But it is the 40 or so goats that make Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery unique.

According to owner Del Burkholder, the farm near Wauseon is the only one in northwest Ohio to make goat cheese from its own goats. And it is one of only four or five in the whole state to do so.

The creamery will have its official grand opening at noon July 17, though it has been in business since March. It makes cheese in three ways: creamy chevre, firm and flavorful Gouda, and chewy curds, which are eaten deep fried or just plain as a snack.
