Wisconsin's Cosmic Wheel Creamery churns out beautiful small-batch cheeses
18 Apr 2017
Rama Hoffpauir is an accidental cheesemaker. After years of cultivating vegetables, she and husband Josh Bryceson began talking about making their Turnip Rock Farm in Clear Lake, Wis., a self-contained ecosystem.
They decided to add livestock. First, pigs. Then, to feed them, a cow. Turns out, its milk was doing double duty, providing nourishing whey for the pig barn and inspiration for Hoffpauir to try her hand at cheesemaking.
As with so many farming enterprises, a hobby blossomed into a business, one the couple dubbed Cosmic Wheel Creamery. It wasn’t long before shoppers at the Mill City Farmers Market in Minneapolis demanded more of their cheeses, and Bryceson found himself tending a 13-head Jersey herd.
