Sally Jackson Goat
(Goat's milk, Sally Jackson, Washington)

Sally and Roger Jackson were among the first people in Washington state to sell artisanal goat cheese – for that matter, they were among the first people in the U.S. to bring back the craft of artisanal cheesemaking. Chefs in Seattle still remember Sally selling wheels of cheese out the back of her car twenty years ago. These days, cheese sellers come to her, hoping for a small wheel of her raw goat cheese. The cheese is wrapped in leaves and tied up like a delicious little package, adding a touch of elegance to cheese that is otherwise quite rustic: earthy, gamey and herbal.

Sally Jackson and her husband Roger create small-batches of raw-milk goat, sheep and cow cheeses on a small farm in the Okanagon Highlands of eastern Washington state.
