Finger Lakes Dexter Creamery

We raise purebred Dexter cattle, a heritage breed. Dexters are very small by nature, easy to handle and retain strong genetics. We make cheese from Dexter milk. We sell cattle, and we sell cheese! We are the first legal Dexter dairy in the US! The cheese we make is called Kefir Cheese. It is made with natural occuring probiotic kefir grains, not factory made kefir starters. The difference is that there are many more friendly bacteria in kefir grains than there are in manufactured versions. Kefir grains cannot be man made, they are not processed, they have been passed down for generations within several different ethnic groups. This cheese is the only one of it's kind produced in the US. It is a farmstead, artisanal, raw milk cheese, aged for 60 days or more. It has a natural washed rind and can range from semi-soft to hard cheese for grating. Dexter milk is thick, rich with butterfat and very creamy!!! We are certified Animal Welfare Approved.
