Ever wonder what makes LaClare Creamery’s goat cheese so dang unforgettable?

This week, we stopped by the farmstead in Malone and sat down with Jessi Schoofs, Retail Manager at LaClare Creamery, to chat about what really sets this place apart from their commitment to local sourcing to the clean, fresh flavors in every bite of their award-winning cheese.

This isn’t your average creamery (and they’re proud of that). With milk sourced from just 10 miles down the road and a cheesemaking process rooted in passion and precision, LaClare is raising the bar for what goat cheese should taste like.

Jessi gave us the inside scoop on their story, their values, and what it’s like to be part of something that’s both proudly Wisconsin and anything but ordinary.
