Fresh, Organic Chèvre Cheese from Mountain Valley View Farm

Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc. is working on becoming a certified dairy through the Washington state Department of Agriculture! Our delicious, creamy cheese is handmade on our farm from the sweet, rich organic milk produced by our small herd of Nubian dairy goats. We believe strongly in a sustainable lifestyle that is good for the environment, our animals, and our customers. Our goats are treated with love and care as part of our family, and they are hormone and antibiotic free.
We offer a soft, natural chèvre as well as four flavored varieties: Garlic, Sundried Tomato, Black Olive, and Green Olive. Each of our delightful cheeses is perfect to spread on crackers or to add a special touch to any meal.
Like goat milk, goat cheese is not only tasty, it is very healthy and nutritious. It is lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol than cheese made from cow milk, and has a higher content of important vitamins and minerals such as calcium and Vitamin A. It is also a significant source of protein. Furthermore, it is easier to digest than cow cheese and can be eaten by those with sensitive stomachs, including infants and many people who are lactose-intolerant.
Goats were some of the first domesticated animals in the world, and goat cheese is possibly the oldest manmade dairy product, with a history that stretches back thousands of years. Although we in the United States have come to rely more heavily on dairy from cows, goat milk and cheese is a staple in the rest of the world, prized for its unique flavor and excellent nutritional values. Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc. is proud to continue this ancient tradition by crafting the highest quality artisan chèvre to tantalize and satisfy your tastebuds.

Life on a Family Farm

Here at Mountain Valley View Farm, we feel continually blessed. Our farm is relatively small, encompassing only 30 acres here in the Spokane Valley, and is entirely operated by the Hood family. We are lucky to have a large family that enjoys helping out with all the chores and tasks involved in keeping the farm running. Last weekend when we harvested our first crop of organic rhubarb, everyone got involved–and a good thing too, because the haul was so large it would have taken forever without all that help! We are proud of our children’s diligence and cheerful helping hands, for they are growing up with strength of character and fortitude that will make them into wonderful adults.

All of our children love animals, and we have taught them to be be respectful of all life and this great planet we live on. Growing up on a farm is a wonderful experience for them, and they learn so much each day about responsible, sustainable ways of living that are good for the earth and all its creatures. We have a great variety of animals on our farm, from horses and goats to chickens, ducks, geese, and even turkeys. The kids love interacting with all these different animals and are eager to help feed and take care of them.

For our family, running Mountain Valley View Farm is not just a job: it is a way of life, one we take great pride and pleasure in. Although planting, harvesting, and taking care of our many farm animals takes a lot of hard work and can be very demanding at times, everyone enjoys seeing the fruits of our labor when we bring in a harvest or watch the goats and horses frolic playfully in the pasture. We also know that in providing fresh, nutritious organic produce and dairy to the public, we are filling an important role in our community and helping others enjoy a healthy lifestyle. We love getting to know the people who purchase from and support our farm, so please take a moment to stop by and see us at one of the local farmers’ markets–we’d love to meet you and tell you more about our family and farm!
