ANNAPOLIS — Dairy cows, goats and sheep will stay cheesy in Maryland under a bill presented Thursday, Feb. 12.
After a successful five-year pilot program that enabled five dairy farms in Maryland to produce raw milk cheese from cows, goats and sheep, legislators on the state Senate Finance Committee were easily in support of changing the program to be a more long-term business opportunity.
The changes to the program include allowing farms to renew their license for cheese production every year, not limiting herd size to 120 animals or fewer and making more than five cheese producer permits available.
