Cheese and bread make a welcome pause before dinner. North Sky Farm makes cheese in its on-farm creamery, including Maker’s Reserve New Moon.

Mariah and Travis Hurt are the farmers and cheesemakers behind the operation. They run a micro-dairy and tend cows on pasture year-round.

New Moon has a hand-dusted ash rind and a pale interior. Set it beside crackers or bread for a small snack board to share before the main meal.
