Local cheese!

Schoch Cheese

Schoch Dairy now carries cheese from Helvetia Creamery, a small, family owned operation near us. Milking three Brown Swiss cows, the Grossen family makes artisan Swiss cheeses the old fashioned way.

They currently offer two types of cheese: Bergkäese—originated in the Berner Oberland region of Switzerland. Stronger in taste of the two cheeses; and Gruyere Style—named after the town of Gruyères in Switzerland. Creamy and nutty in flavor.

All cheeses are aged a minimum of ninety days. Prices vary depending on weight and age.

Schoch Dairy is located a pleasant 15-20 minute drive west of Cedar Mill, at 24335 NW West Union Rd, just west of the intersection with Helvetia Road. Look for the sign, head north on the driveway until you get to the milk house. Their fresh, pasteurized, non-homogenized whole milk is available in half-gallon glass bottles for $4, with a $2-per-bottle deposit.Return the empty bottles and get your deposit back or a credit for a new purchase.

They now also offer “Schocholate” milk, and farm-fresh eggs. Visit the Schoch Dairy website for more information.

The Cedar Mill Market of Choice and Northwest produce company Charlie’s Produce donated nearly 12,000 pounds of fresh apples to Oregon Food Bank to help feed people facing food insecurity in the region. It’s part of the Take a Bite Out of Hunger Program, sponsored by FirstFruits Marketing of Washington.

The truckload of mostly red delicious apples went to Oregon Food Bank distribution centers and, ultimately, the network of food banks in the region. “We’re proud to give back to our community, and participating in Take a Bite Out of Hunger is a great way to make a difference,” said Steven Coppit, store manager of Market of Choice in Cedar Mill. “This donation ensures that the shelves at our local food bank are stocked with fresh produce.”

This is Market of Choice’s first year and Charlie’s third year participating in the campaign. FirstFruits Marketing created the campaign to help feed the underserved while bringing attention to the problem of food insecurity in the United States and Canada.

Market of Choice regularly participates with local food banks in two ways: The SCAN program, in which customers can add a $1, $5 or $10 coupon to their total purchases, which is then donated to the Oregon Food Bank; and Fresh Alliance, which helps Market of Choice to donate unused, yet perfectly good food on a weekly basis. Since the partnerships began, Market of Choice has donated close to a million pounds of food and hundreds of thousands of dollars to statewide food banks.

I am thrilled that the Oregon Coast is such a short drive away.” Over several brief visits ranging from a few days to a week, she has now driven the Oregon coastline from Astoria to the California border, taking photographs and painting studies along the way. Her show displays photographs and oil paintings of Oregon Coast scenes.
