Our Farm
Welcome to Jacobs and Brichford! Since the early 1800’s, our land has been home to a family
farm here in SE Indiana, nestled in the Whitewater River Valley. All the milk used in our
cheese is produced on our farm, from our grass-fed, Jersey, Normande and Tarentaise cross
cows. We also have a small flock of hair sheep and a drift of Berkshire hogs. We operate a
seasonal dairy–following nature’s rhythm of milking (in a New Zealand style outdoor parlor)
and move our cows through fresh pastures each day. We manage our resources meticulously,
use limited inputs, and create all natural, grass-fed milk and cheeses of the highest quality.
Our Family
We are Leslie Jacobs and Matthew Brichford, and we have lived on the Brichford family farm
since 1981. We have built our married life together on the farm, raising three daughters who
have spent their summers milking cows and chasing the other animals (and their sisters)
around the fields. We are proud to be an active part of our local community, and happy that
our girls have attended our area schools. Today, Matthew manages the farm and makes our
artisan cheese. Leslie and daughter Maize help with the cheese marketing. Border Collie
Jewel and Welsh Corgi Mirk are also active workers on the farm. Jewel is trained to move the
livestock, and Mirk runs alongside encouragingly.
It has been a goal of ours to stay on the family’s Hoosier Homestead property. With fifteen
years in the dairy business, we believe we have developed a vision that will allow us to
continue to operate our family farm in a sustainable way for generations to come.
Our Products
At Jacobs and Brichford, we proudly produce three delicious varieties of farmstead artisan
cheese. All of our cheese is processed with raw milk, sourced only from our farm’s grass-fed
herd. Because we use the freshest milk from our own grass-fed cows, our specialty cheeses
have a delicious flavor unique to our farm. Our cheeses are hand crafted with care using our
own specially-developed artisan recipes and the freshest grass-fed ingredients. We know you
will taste the difference.
