Tide Mill Creamery

At Tide Mill Creamery we make cheese and yogurt in a small-scale, licensed facility located on a nine-generation family farm on Maine’s easternmost coast. The Creamery uses only certified organic milk from Tide Mill Organic Farm’s dairy cows which are rotationally grazed on seaside pastures right here on the farm. All Tide Mill Creamery products are joyfully hand-made in small batches. We run our business with a spirit of stewardship for the land and our community.

Guild Holiday Party

holidaytomme_stackDecember 14th Holiday Party at Liberty Fields Farm, Saco where it was —

Holiday Tomme!

What a great event.

Besides the warm and spirited hosting by Liberty Fields Farm, our Holiday Party featured seven different Tommes made from the same recipe but each bearing the flavor, milk type, local flora and personality of the cheesemakers around the state. There were hard and soft pate’s, there were buttery and silky textures, there was “goaty” and “cow-y” and complex flavors — sometimes all in the same cheese (Appleton Creamery brought a triple-milk version). There was also bright red local membrillo to accompany the panoply of personal cheeses. It was a lesson about how much of the local cheesemaker goes into making their cheese.
