Skylands Food TrailA stop on the Skylands Food Cheese Trail: farms that make cheese from their own animals’ milk.

Brian and Courtney Foley brought their first water buffalo to the Musconetcong River Valley in 2006. Today the herd is around 200 animals, and their milk becomes cheese and yogurt in small batches on the farm.

This is the place for true buffalo mozzarella and stracciatella made in New Jersey, plus aged caciocavallo, paneer, labneh and a mango lassi. Their cheese took a silver award at the 2025 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest.
