Dairy

Harvest Market has never sold an egg from a caged hen. Our minimum standard is that our eggs come from producers who house their flocks with outdoor access. Our best eggs, however, come from chickens that spend their days (when the weather cooperates) out on pasture—where they can revel in the sunshine and an unlimited supply of weeds, grass and bugs. Since we carry eggs that come with a variety of attributes—certified organic, pastured, GMO-free feed, soy-free feed—please check the carton or shelf sign for an indication of how each brand of eggs is produced.

Harvest Market carries a wide assortment of European classic, American artisanal, and local grass-fed, raw milk cheeses. Traditional European cheese standards are high and give us such classics as the Swiss Gruyere and the Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano. Since the use of the genetically engineered growth hormone, rGBH, is banned in the E.U., all of our European cheeses are free of this unnecessary drug. Unfortunately rBGH can be administered to dairy cows in the U.S. Despite this, all of our domestic cheeses are also free of rGBH, since we source only from farms and cheese makers who have pledged to not use milk produced with artificial hormone. Enjoy our selection of more than 120 different cow, goat and sheep milk cheeses for both every day eating as well as to serve during a special dinner or party. Ask our cheese monger for recommendations.
