Capriole

Bio

In 1978, Judy and Larry Schad moved to an 80-acre farm in southern Indiana. They later found it had belonged to Larry’s great-great-grandfather in 1870! Of the many animals on the farm, it was dairy goats – friendly, bright and full of mischief – that captured their hearts. By 1982, their 4-H herd provided more milk than they could drink so they started to make cheese. In 1988, they began to market it, added a small dairy, and for two years leased space in a nearby cheese operation. Attorney Larry milked the goats before and after work, and Judy made cheese in the wee hours of the morning. By 1990, they built their own creamery. After milking goats for 35 years, they sold their herd in 2012 to a young, Indiana farm family who supplies them with milk to produce their fresh, ripened and aged cheeses. Capriole cheeses are nationally recognized and have received numerous awards over their 25 years of production—including a Best-of-Show from the American Cheese Society.  The cheeses are still produced on the family farm which was placed in the Sycamore Land Trust in 2012 and awarded Conservation Business of the Year. Because the Schads live five hours from Chicago, they come to the Market only a few times a month. Judy e-mails customers to let them know when they will be here. Just ask, and she will add you to the list.
