The Cheesemakers:
Coach Farm has been making goat cheese in New York's Hudson Valley since the 1980s. The company was founded by the owners of Coach Leather Company, known for purses and leather bags. The leap to cheese was made when the owners sold the company and moved to the country.
Coach Farm follows the tradition of French cheesemaking. Their goat cheeses are reminiscent of French chevre, but have a unique Hudson Valley flair. Coach Farm runs a large operation - more than 900 goats - and their cheeses are fairly easy to find in cheese stores across the country.
