Founded in 1848 by the Klessig family, the Saxon Creamery is a fifth generation dairy farm committed to ethical treatment of cows and land preservation. Their dairy is located three miles from the creamery, making sure the milk is always incredibly fresh under the guide of Master Cheesemaker Jeff Mattes (below).
“Wild lands provide an important part of agriculture. It’s really the mantra of the state of Wisconsin, the diversity of the land,” - Karl Klessig
