OGDEN, Utah — A new kind of farm is up and running in the middle of Ogden Valley, and it's making waves among cheese-loving circles around the country. The place is the Snowy Mountain Sheep Creamery in Eden – thought to be the only dairy sheep farm Utah.
The sheep creamery, owned and operated by Stig and Susan Hansen, is just now wrapping up its sophomore year. But the results have impressed even the Hansens.
The couple took home the best of class award in March at the U.S. Cheese Championship with their Timpanogos Peak Blue Cheese. They also placed fourth in the mixed-blend category with their Strawberry Peak Cheese.
Sheep milk is a mild form of dairy – the taste is more in line with cow's milk than goat's milk, Stig Hansen said.
