We
start each year growing over 30,000 plants, and vegetables, from that

Black Angus Beef
Growing up, we would often sell our best beef at county fairs and to a few
friends. The result has always been the same. Once people try our hormone
free, humanely cared for beef, they can never go back to the supermarket's
cuts. Knowing the Schramer family and Farm Direct Black Angus is like the
good old days of knowing your farmer. It's real peace of mind for you and
your family.
- Finest Black Angus Beef
- Highest Quality
- Hormone Free
- Humanely Raised

Curds & Whey Cheese Company began with the
humble cheese curd and the demand to provide fresh curds at local farmer
markets. In 2003 the St. Charles Farmers Market was going out of
business. We moved the Market to its current site at Baker Memorial
United Methodist Church and undertook to rebuild the Market under the
sponsorship of Baker Church. Faced with the prospect of losing the
Market's cheese vendor as a result of the local cheese shop going out of
business, Rob and Debb Murphy formed Curds & Whey Cheese Company with
the initial goal of selling artisan and regional cheeses at the St.
Charles Market. Along with great cheeses came fresh cheese curds from
one of our favorite cheese makers, Renard's Cheese Company of Door
County, Wisconsin.
 Over
the past four years, Curds & Whey
expanded its business to include
local farmer markets in the central
Fox Valley Illinois region. Curds &
Whey specializes in unique regional
artisan cheeses, fine imported
international cheeses, dairy
products including butter, farmstead
milk, farm fresh local eggs and
related local foodstuffs.
