The Chaseholm Farm Creamery is a 350 acre, family-run farm on the borders of Dutchess and Columbia Counties in the Hudson Valley, New York, USA. It works with many farms in the surrounding Hudson Valley as part of the local food movement. The Chaseholm Farm Creamery is currently run by siblings Rory and Sarah Chase.

Operation of the Farm
The Chaseholm Farm Creamery has a herd of 30 cows comprised of both Jersey and Holstein cows run by sister, Sarah Chase. Calves are kept with their mothers as a new method in hopes that the cows will produce milk for longer. The cows have over 70 acres of land for grazing. The hay they eat is sprayed with lime to organically keep pests away and raise the pH of the crop. The herd is milked by Sarah and a helper twice a day, and the milk is sent down the road to brother, Rory Chase, at the creamery. The farm has attained a raw milk license, and sells raw milk in their farm store.



Operation of the Creamery
Home to The Amazing Real Live Food Co., the creamery was founded in 2007 and is run by brother, Rory Chase, who redid a barn built in the 30's by his grandfather in order to make a cheese making plant and and aging cave. Chaseholm crafts a number of different styles of cheese, most out of the French tradition.The milk from their own cows is used to make seven types of artisan cheeses. The seven current cheeses are Alpag Gruyere, Chaseholm Camembert, Moonlight Chaource, Probiotic Herbed Farmer's Cheese, a spicy Queso Blanco, an herbal Queso Blanco, and Stella Vallis Tomme.
