ABOUT US

WE LOVE CHEESE!

OUR CHEESES
We strive to create incredible homemade artisan cheeses that taste as good as they look. Chapel’s Country Creamery produces artisanal farmstead cheeses. This means that batches are kept small and each cheese is handcrafted using milk that comes directly from the farm’s cows.

All of our Chapel Cheeses are made onsite from start to finish, including the Camembert-style Chesapeake Brie, Bay Blue, the beer-washed Amber Cheddar and Chapel Cheddar.

THE HERD
At Chapel’s Country Creamery, the cows are family. Each cow is registered and has a birth certificate, bloodline information, and, most importantly, a name. (A 2013 study showed that cows that were named produced more milk.) In order to keep the mothers and babies healthy, the cows are fed primarily corn, hay, and minerals, but the herd’s diet is augmented with time spent grazing on timothy and rye grass as well.

The cows are not given any synthetic growth or production-enhancing hormones, just lots of love and attention.

“We like cows too much to ever feel
like we’re losing focus on them,”

Trisha says, which is why they keep the herd at less than 70 head. As a result, the cows produce rich, creamy, high-quality milk that is then handcrafted into exceptional cheeses!
THE FARM
Chapel’s Country Creamery is an independent, family-owned and operated farm nestled on 45 acres just outside of Easton, Maryland. Our award-winning farmstead cheeses  begin with fresh raw milk from our herd of registered Jersey and Holstein cows. Using time-tested methods, we then turn that cream-laden milk into handcrafted artisanal cheeses, full of flavor and wholesome goodness. We invite you to taste the difference!
THE FARMERS
Trisha and Jarred Boyce are the owners of Chapel’s Country Creamery. The couple bought the farm in February 2017, intent on continuing the rich farming tradition practiced by their own ancestors. Trisha’s family has been raising dairy cows in southern Pennsylvania for three generations, and Jarred, also from southern Pennsylvania, has been working on dairy farms since he was 15 years old. Together, they bring a wealth of experience with them and a deep appreciation for the land, livestock, and livelihood of family farming. They plan to instill these values in the latest addition to their family—their baby son, Trace Eugene Boyce!

Trisha and Jarred foresee a long future for Chapel’s Country Creamery, full of both rich cheeses and traditions.
