Balfour Farm
Award-winning cheeses from a herd of Normande cows
Heather and Doug Donahue started Balfour Farm over 20 years ago as a hobby farm. Today, they’ve scaled to a full-time family farm and run a MOFGA-certified organic dairy farm with a herd of Normande and Normande-cross cows, each of which they name.
Balfour Farm produces a wide range of raw milk aged cheeses, fresh cheeses, yogurt, other cultured products, and salami - including several state, regional and national award winners. Their self service farm store “The Little Cheese Shop,” located on the farm property, was named after a cheese shop they encountered on a trip to the United Kingdom and sells a wide variety of Maine cheeses, charcuterie, and other delicious items – everything you need for the best Maine-made picnic you’ve ever had!
