SHEPHERD'S WAY FARM: The Story of Cheese Making and Survival
After a devastating arson fire on January 24, 2005 nearly destroyed their sheep farming and cheese operation, the prospects of continuing their dream might have caused many of us to give up; but not Steven and Jodi Ohlsen Read and their four sons.

After reading the article about our new pork program, Chere sent me two of her favorite pork recipes, as well as a hostess gift idea that she uses around one of the recipes.
