Brief History

Patrick and Marina Henderson left their native Belgium in 2005 to start a new life in New Brunswick. Their farm is located, as its French name implies, “deep in the woods” near Rexton on 267 acres of land bounded by the St. Nicholas River.

Description

All of our cheeses are produced in our cheese dairy exclusively from the milk of our own goats with no additives. The 75 dairy goats raised in our goat house include Nubians, Alpines and Saanens, which together produce more than 100 kids a year.

Seasonal Calendar

Our products are available year-round.Our goats produce nice, creamy milk from late February right through Christmas and then rest during January and February. Kids are born in February and March. Our fine cheeses are available all year long, and we are pleased to welcome you to our on-site store at any time of year as well, whether for a tour, a tasting or to make a purchase.
From June 15 to September 15 the store is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Our products are available at the farmers markets in Dieppe, Fredericton and Halifax, numerous restaurants in the region and farm stands in southeastern New Brunswick.
