8oz. Local Hartzler Cheese : White Cheddar

Where it all began...

Harold and his wife, Patricia, began farming in Ohio’s Wayne County in 1952. During their 50 plus years in marriage and agriculture they also raised six sons and two daughters. When you first met Harold Hartzler and shook his large, strong hands there was a sense of connection to something good. Maybe it was the humble spirit. You could tell that he had met hardship and difficulty in a real way, but there was no defeat in his clear eyes. There was certainty. He knew something important, if not invaluable. His strong words and sure movements confirmed everything he communicated.

Perhaps his confident demeanor was due to the fact that Harold Hartzler has accomplished a dream. In 1990 he gathered his family to talk about offering their dairy products to the community. Harold had been farming using natural methods for some time and he knew the milk produced on his farm was free of pesticides and other toxins. At that time no other such milk was being made available to the community. The family approved and Hartzler Family Dairy, Inc. was formed.
