This ashed surface ripened sheep's milk cheese is named after the Hawkins line that runs through property, hence the line of vegetable ash that runs through the paste of the cheese. The richness of the ewe's milk, paired with the mineral notes from the ash, makes this a favorite throughout the season.


When young, Hawkins Haze has a light texture and finishes with crisp citrus notes. As the cheese ages, it becomes more intense with flavors of fresh cream.

The Magnolia is essentially our version of a Camembert cheese. It is a rich and luscious cheese with slight tang that allows a mild sheep's milk flavor to come through. It's named after the Magnolia tree, which produces a white blossom, or bloom, and the Magnolia cheese is referred to as a bloomy rinded cheese because of the white mold rind.

Ramps are one of our favorite ingredients at Blackberry Farm. We harvested and preserved ramps in the Spring to make our Brebis and Ramp Spread. The onion and garlic flavor from the ramps mixed with our creamy Brebis cheese creates a delicious savory flavor combination, and utilizing the ramp greens gives the spread a beautiful color.


Dip your favorite raw vegetables or spread over bread and enjoy.
