LOMAH Dairy

Does this van look familiar?

If you answered "of course!" then you have had the pleasure in consuming cheese from LOMAH Dairy. LOMAH Diary is located in Wyandotte, Oklahoma, about 50 minutes from Downtown Bentonville. Every Saturday, Donna and one of her children make the commute to provide cheese to the Bentonville Farmers Market

The roads to the farm were twisty and hilly, but the dairy wasn't hard to find after spotting the welcome sign. Donna told me that they often times have school groups to the farm to do tours, and their hand painted sign helps visitors find the place!

The barn is a classic red and white restored dairy barn. The Johnson's have a store at the front of the barn that is based on the honor system. There are coolers in the front with product, a log of names and items bought, and a hole in the wall to drop your money.

Inside the barn, there is the cheese making room. I believe this vat is going to be gouda cheese, Donna informed me that this is a small batch of cheese! 

There are two different coolers, this one houses the hard cheeses. The other cooler contains soft cheeses and cheese that have to age, such as blue cheese. 

Now this is one HUGE block of cheese! I asked Donna if her family still eats cheese after making it all day. She exclaimed yes! She knows what goes into her cheese, and it is all natural ingredients. 

Of course, you can have no dairy without cows! These sweet girls are Jersey cows. They get to graze on pasture, play in the streams, and socialize throughout the day, come 4:00am and 4:00pm they mosey over to the barn to get fed and milked. 

Don't forget to stop by LOMAH Dairy's booth at the Saturday Bentonville Farmers Market from 7:00am to 1:00pm and sample cheese made by local people and local cows!
