Pipe Dreams Fromage

Greencastle, Pennsylvania

You could call it a pipe dream come true! Cheesemaker Brad Parker traversed the globe to find his true calling as a cheesemaker. As a high school student, he spent time in the Limousin region working as a goatherd, learning the rudiments of raising goats and making goat cheese. Years later during a stint in the Peace Corps in South Central Africa, Brad decided that he would return stateside and milk cows for a living, but was dissuaded by a local farmer who told him that milking cows was too expensive, and that he should look into goats. Brad wrote letters to 10 goat farms that found in a farming periodical he chanced upon at the Peace Corps office, and got a response from one close to Philadelphia offering him a job and room and board.
