* 2022 2nd Place Cheese Curds at the American Cheese Society Contest *

Meet the playful kid of the cheese world - buttery, squeaky, and wildly snackable. These curds bounce between your teeth like new sneakers on a gym floor, bursting with fresh, full flavor in every bite. Made right on our farm at Redhead Creamery, we pipe milk straight from the milking parlor to our cheese room, where it’s slowly pasteurized and gently crafted into the most irresistible curds around. Pick them up fresh from our farm store, your local food co-op, or cheese counter - just ask for them by name. Keep them cold in their vacuum-sealed bag, then bring them to room temp before serving for the ultimate squeaky experience.

Come pick some up at the Redhead Creamery on-farm cheese store (watch our Face­book page for make-day updates), in your local food coop­er­a­tive or cheese counter by ask­ing for them by name, or purchase them in our online Cheese Shop.

This is the cheddar with a story - bold, rustic, and full of heart. Aged for at least 6 months in our underground cheese caves, Lucky Linda develops rich caramel-savory notes that taste like the crispy edges of a grilled cheese sandwich you’d fight over. Wrapped in cloth and aged with care, it takes on the wild molds in the air of our farm, creating a rind and flavor that's truly one-of-a-kind.

Named after our co-founder Alise’s mom (and the "luck" that kept Redhead Creamery going through tough times), Lucky Linda is the kind of cheddar Grandma would’ve stashed in the pantry for only the most special guests. Earthy, smooth, and slightly crumbly - it’s the storyteller at your cheese board, ready to make an impression.

The gentle hug of the cheese world - soft, melt-in-your-mouth, and comfortingly rich, like warm toast with cream or a gooey marshmallow by the fire, only savory and sophisticated.

Named after Alise and Lucas’s daughter, Lucy, this small brie is as charming and irresistible as its namesake. Smooth and creamy at its core, Little Lucy is perfect as a shareable appetizer - whether baked with pistachios and balsamic, warmed on the grill, or simply enjoyed as-is at room temperature.

As it ages, it becomes creamier and more flavorful, softening from the outside in. Whether you prefer it young and mild or rich and ripe, Little Lucy always leaves you wanting just one more bite.

Storage / Eating:
This cheese continues to ripen (or gets creamier) as it ages. Depending on your taste, enjoy the Little Lucy Brie while young for a more grassy, light mouth feel. If you like it a bit more stinky and creamy, let it ripen in your fridge a little longer (1–2 weeks). It will continue to ripen from the outside in and will be soft and gooey at room temperature.

The rebel cousin of the cheese family - funky, rich, and unapologetically creamy, like buttered popcorn that quit its day job and joined a rock band.

Named after our home township and the North Fork of the Crow River, this French-style munster is washed in local Minnesota 14 Whiskey from Panther Distillery, giving it a bold, briny edge and that perfectly pungent funk we’re known for. Wrapped in muslin to keep its ooey-gooey paste in place, this cheese isn’t shy - and we love it that way.

Over time, the center gets creamier, the flavor deeper, and the rind beautifully wild. Mold on the rind? Totally normal - slice off the top and scoop out the good stuff. Best served at room temp for maximum ooze and attitude.

Similar to the Little Lucy, North Fork will continue to ripen and get creamier as it ages. The middle will become gooey with time and the flavor will increase in depth and pungency. Best served at room temperature.

Each wheel weights approximately 6oz and will serve 2-3 people.

The crowd-pleaser with a sharp tongue. Margie is smooth, approachable, and just witty enough to keep things interesting - the kind of cheese you invite to every gathering. But don’t be fooled by her charm - this is the sharpest cheddar we make.

Aged to perfection and full of character, Margie is crumbly, bold, and may even sparkle with tyrosine crystals - those crunchy little bursts of flavor that cheese lovers dream about. Each bite offers a rich, savory experience with a hint of saltiness that only comes with age.

Named after Redhead Creamery sister #4, Maggie, who proudly describes herself as sharp, fruity, and just a little salty - Margie is the perfect centerpiece for any cheese board.

Pairs well with semi-dry to dry red wines or hoppy IPAs.

The neighbor who always brings something unexpected - warm, friendly, and just funky enough to keep you curious. St. Anthony is a washed-rind wonder with rich, savory depth and just a kiss of cellar earthiness, like buttered toast pulled from a cozy kitchen next to a root cellar.

Smooth and creamy with meaty undertones -think cured salami meets comfort food - this cheese is hard to put down. Pair it with pickled veggies, crusty bread, or your favorite charcuterie for a spread that surprises and satisfies in equal measure.

Unique to Redhead Creamery, St. Anthony has quickly earned its spot as a fan favorite. Approachable, cozy, and quietly bold - just like a good neighbor should be.

The spicy daredevil of cheddar - smooth and mild at first, then suddenly bold, peppery, and fiery enough to make you raise an eyebrow… and then reach for another bite. It’s like your favorite comfort food with a surprise kick, perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness and heat.

We just had to make something red - yes, it’s ridiculous, but totally delicious. Great on its own or melted on chili, this cheddar adds the perfect smoky, honeyed fire to grilled cheese sandwiches and beyond. Get ready for heat with heart.

The flavorful flirt of the cheese world — nutty, bold cheddar kissed with just the right touch of roasted garlic. Think garlic bread in cheese form: rich, savory, and seriously irresistible.

Perfect for cheese lovers who like their classics with a twist — bold, balanced, and impossible to forget.

Mild, creamy, and endlessly snackable- Simply Cheddar is the kind of cheese that feels like home. It doesn’t need to be loud to be loved; it’s the quiet favorite that shows up on grilled cheese sandwiches, mac and cheese, or just in little cubes for snacking straight from the fridge. Think of it like that gentle, easygoing relative who’s always there with a warm smile and something comforting to share. Simple? Yes. Forgettable? Never.

Meet Henry’s Havarti- young, mild, and just the right amount of tangy. It’s named after Alise and Lucas’s son, Henry, and like him, this cheese is full of charm and easy to love. It melts effortlessly (kind of like your heart when a kid tells you a silly joke), making it perfect for grilled cheese, pasta salads, or stacked high on a sandwich. It's the kind of cheese that feels like comfort food with a smile- simple, familiar, and a little bit special.

Named after Alise and Lucas’s son, Conan, The Barbarian may sound fierce, but underneath that bold name is a cheese with heart. Savory, robust, and full of character, it’s a mini wheel that knows how to make an entrance. Designed to be curled with a girolle into delicate cheese rosettes (yes, cheese can be fun and fancy), it’s the perfect centerpiece for a platter or a flavorful garnish on your favorite dish.

Much like its namesake, this cheese doesn’t hold back- but it also knows how to charm a crowd. Reminiscent of another Redhead favorite, St. Anthony, The Barbarian brings big flavor in a small, 1.5-pound wheel. Grab a girolle from our website, or dive in with a knife and your own sense of adventure.

Wheel is approx 1.5 pounds.

The life of the party - creamy cheddar blended with smoky chipotle, sweet heat from Mama Lil’s peppers, our tangy Bovre cheese, and a touch of mayo magic. It’s that dangerously good dip that somehow disappears before you’ve even had a second bite.

Perfect straight from the fridge with crackers or melted and scooped with corn chips, this spread brings the heat and the charm. Bold, creamy, a little spicy, and totally addictive - it’s no wonder our Pimento Cheese is one of the hottest items in our farm store.

Warning: May cause instant friendship. Comes in an 8 oz container, but you might want to grab two.
