In June 2012, RareFind Nursery was purchased by 

Oliver Hamill, a managing partner and one of the owners of 

Cherry Grove Farm in Lawrenceville, NJ. 

Cherry Grove Farm is a diversified and sustainable farm that 

above allstrives to produce thevery best European-style 

cheeses, while respecting the animals and the environment. 

The 400 acre farmincludes 230 acres of certified organic 

pasture whereaherdofJerseyand Milking Short Horn 

dairy cattle enjoy alushvariety of grass and forage. The 

cows mow the grass and fertilize it too! This saves fuel and 

eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers. The cows come 

inside twice a day to be milked but otherwise spend all their 

time outside grazing. 

Raw milk from grass-fed cows gives the cheese maker a 

fantastic starting material for his craft. From June – August, 

cheese is made up to 7timesaweek.Cheeses produced 

range from slowly pasteurized, 40-day-old Buttercup Brie 

to Havilah, an aged hard raw milk cheese. 

The whey from the cheese facility feeds a herd of 

heritage-breed pigs. Whey is full of protein and helps make 

great pork. No growth hormones, antibiotics or steroids 

are used in their feed. All pork products have no nitrates or 

preservatives, even the smoked meats like bacon and ham. 

The farm store is supplied daily with fresh eggs from a flock 

of 600 pasture-raised chickens and grass-fed lamb and 

meat products from a flock of Katahdin sheep.
