As Maryland’s most-awarded cheese maker, FireFly Farms knows a thing or two about producing a good tasting product.
Since opening in 2002, the sustainably-crafted goat cheese manufacturer has taken the local agriculture scene by storm, and has gotten the attention of natural foods market Whole Foods on more than one occasion.
Mike Koch and his partner, Pablo Solanet, began the business after buying their Garrett County farm in 1997. They immediately began thinking of ways to create a farm-based business, and after realizing their neighbors had goats, everything fell into place.
