I grew up in the 1970's with a Mom whose biggest dream was to garden all her children’s vegetables to know exactly what was used while they were being grown. This dream never quite came to fruition but her insistence upon quality products for us didn't go unrecognized. We learned early on the importance of dairy both for calcium and for quality protein and she went above and beyond to find us products created with good farm practices and exceptional quality.
Today, of course, many more of us are seeking milk and yogurts without added hormones, from local sources and with honest farming practices. Zabar's Cheese Department is committed to providing our customers with products that meet these needs as well as being of the highest quality with the most exceptional taste.
With that in mind, Zabar’s now has some new dairy products in our store of such exceptional quality and value that we just can't wait to share them with you. We will be holding tastings and samplings in our store on a regular basis so stop by or check back here for dates. Feel free to contact our cheese department with any questions at 212-787-2000.

Evans Farmhouse is a family owned and operated USDA certified organic creamery located in Norwich, New York. The Evans family has organically raised pasture-fed Jersey cows whose high fat and protein milk is used to produce yogurt. What distinguishes their yogurt and milk from many other brands is that they are non-homogenized. A fine layer of rich cream sits atop each cup of yogurt and each bottle of milk.

Polymeadows Farm & Creamery has been family run since 1954. With its roots as a Jersey dairy today over 200 goats call Polymeadows home. In 2008 Polymeadows began making and marketing their own brand of goat milk yogurt. Goat milk yogurt is rich, creamy, tangy and naturally thinner in consistency than cow’s milk yogurt. Goat’s milk itself is naturally homogenized and preferred by people who may have sensitivities to cow’s milk. Additionally it is lower in cholesterol than cow’s milk. Polymeadows Farm has been conserved with the Vermont Land Trust to ensure that it will always remain in agriculture.
