LOCALLY CRAFTED FINE GOAT CHEESE
INTERLAKEN, NY
Lively Run Goat Dairy, a pioneer of goat cheese in the United States, has been producing fine artisanal cheeses since 1982. Steve and
Susanne Messmer acquired the operation in 1995 after moving their family from Germany to the United States. Susanne, a native
German, became a connoisseur of the exemplary cheeses that Europe has to offer, especially while visiting her family’s summer home
in France. Steve, born and raised in Interlaken, New York, served in the military in Europe as an engineer. Through this experience, he
met Susanne. Lively Run Goat Dairy, a contributing member of the Finger Lakes Cheese Trail, helps to pioneer goat cheese in the
American market place. The farm is consistently growing and produces 40,000 pounds of goat cheese annually. Today, the milk is
supplied by 300 goats making up five herds in the Finger Lakes region. The goat dairy’s authentic artisanal cheeses remain inspired by
the French method and are all small batch made, by hand, on the 22 acre farm. These delicious cheeses are all-natural, containing no
artificial additives or preservatives. With a process rooted in tradition and affection for the goats being raised, Lively Run Goat Dairy
truly makes sensational and superior cheeses which have become a staple of the Finger Lakes region and beyond.

SENECA BLUE MOON, GOAT CHEESE, ~2# $/#
Lively Run Goat Dairy Seneca Blue Moon is a mold- ripened cheese, a
hybridization of Chèvre and Cayuga Blue. Seneca Blue Moon begins life
as a traditional Chèvre. Blue mold is added, then the cheese aged for six
weeks, resulting in a beautiful blue rind on the outside of the log. While
the rind has a fairly mild portobello mushroom flavor, the paste of the
cheese develops a slightly sharp blue flavor while retaining the creamy
texture of traditional Chèvre.

ALPINE, RAW MILK W/ CARAWAY ~11# $/#
ALPINE, AGED RAW MILK ~11# $/#
A hard, nutty, vibrant cheese with an edible rind. HVF
Alpine is aged resulting in stronger flavors and denser
texture and can be described as nutty, caramelly,
crunchy, with butterscotch and pineapple aromas.
Alpine is one of their signature cheeses and is made
only when the cows are on pasture. Alpine cheeses
develop crystals as they age and well-aged Alpines
grate well and can be used on salads or in place of
Italian hard cheeses, such as Reggiano. HVF offers
Alpine, Aged Alpine, and Caraway Alpine. For the month
of February, be sure to grab the either the special aged
version or the caraway while it is one sale, and ask your
sales rep for a volume discount all year round.

TURNING LOCALLY GROWN FRUITS INTO FINE FOODS SINCE 1981
STUYVESANT FALLS, NY
Beth began her business in 1981 in an 1850s farmhouse in Columbia County in New York State. Columbia County is situated in the
Hudson Valley and we are just a mile up the road from the river. Beth’s Farm Kitchen buy all of their fruit locally, or regionally, as they
are part of the Greenmarket of New York City. The one exception is citrus fruits, which do not grow in in the New York climate. BFK’s
first product was Strawberry Jam. Since then they have developed over 90 jam varieties. Why stick with a single product, especially
since so many fruits are grown in this region? We could not overlook even the tiny elderberry. We’ve tried many combinations too,
including Cherrycot and Raspyboyberry . But the bestselling, and most popular, is Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam. YUM!

Nettle Meadow Farm was originally founded in 1990 and is the home of over

NETTLE PEAKS, MOLD RIPENED W/ASH, 6/~8OZ $/#
From the makers of the award-winning cheese Kunik,
Nettle Peaks is a handmade, mold-ripened, black ash
drizzled, 100% goat's milk pyramid. It is infused with
flavors of nettle and other herbs, not because these
ingredients are added to the recipe by the cheesemaker,
but because this is what the goat's eat on the farm. Each
pyramid is hard-wrapped in waxed paper so that its
bloomy rind can gain access to the air it needs to stay
fresh and white.

MISSION
To be a driving force in the creation of a vibrant rural agricultural economy for the
Northeast region as well as a positive business model that supports the workers, farmers,
producers and consumers involved in moving food from farm to plate.
CONNECTIONS
WE ARE NOT A BROADLINE DISTRIBUTOR…
We aim to offer a broad spectrum of high quality regional, specialty and natural
products, but we are not interested in selling you generic shelf stable mayonnaise, shaving
pennies off the price of commodity bacon or convincing you to buy the cheapest offering
of anything—nope, in our opinion you deserve the highest quality products and service
from real folks, from right here. And at a fair, sustainable price.
Big picture: we’ve been doing this work long before local was a trend--much less a
desirable, marketable trait. It is central to who we are and guides our decisions and
direction. It is an exciting time in the food business as customers demand a higher level of
transparency and are more literate than ever in matters of nutrition and production
practices. We are proud to have been at this for over two decades and are excited to
continue promoting and supporting the northeast’s producers, retailers and restaurants for
many years to come.
HISTORY
Regional Access was founded by Gary Redmond, a Cornell graduate, organic farmer
and entrepreneur with a passion for nutrition, food and all things gourmet. In 1989 Gary
and his wife, Daisy, converted a spare bedroom in their Ithaca, NY, home into an office,
their garage into a warehouse, then bought a computer and a small refrigerated truck:
Regional Access was born. Their vision: to distribute ecologically responsible and locally
grown food in Upstate NY. Working long hours ordering, picking up and delivering every
product, with a tireless commitment to their vision, Gary and Daisy were able to survive
that first critical year. In September of 1989 the first driver was hired to help with deliveries.
Over 25 years later we find ourselves with more than a dozen trucks, a 25,000 square foot
warehouse (and another facility on the way), more than 40 employees, and the same
unflinching commitment to supporting great food wherever we can find it.
