LaClare's story begins in the late 70’s; eager to return to their rural roots, Larry and Clara Hedrich bought a “hobby farm” in the heart of America’s Dairyland.
Along with their homestead, they inherited two goats, a dozen or so chickens and pair of peacocks. Little did they realize, the goats would soon become the focal point of the lives of their growing family. Hence, the founding of what would become LaClare Creamery, appropriately named after founders Larry and Clara.
LaClare is now one of the only 100%-domestically produced goat cheese brands in the country; we source milk exclusively from local dairies. The animals’ balanced diet of grains and forage yields only the finest milk. With quick and careful handling between our farms and creamery, this high-quality milk allows our cheeses’ signature clean flavor and freshness to flourish.
