About Percheron Horses and the NC Percheron Horse Association:

About Chapel Hill Creamery:
Portia McKnight and Flo Hawley began their farmstead production at Chapel Hill Creamery in 2001 with just 9 Jersey Cows; today they have 32 and produce more than 10 European-style fresh and aged cheeses, including Thunder Mountain Swiss, Hickory Grove, Carolina Moon, farmers cheese, pheta, cultured fresh mozzarella and more. As a sustainable production, they do not use growth hormones, use solar power in place of fossil fuels for heating water, and use rotational grazing on pasture for their Jersey Cows who produce nutrient rich milk and healthy cheeses. Chapel Hill Creamery cheeses are sold at the Carrboro and Durham Farmers Markets, A Southern Season, in Whole Foods Markets and select gourmet stores statewide. www.southerncheese.com/Pages/chapelhill.html
