For years, David and Kathryn Heininger of Snowflake have churned out Arizona’s “Best Homegrown Goat Cheeses” at their Black Mesa Ranch.

But you may not know the best part of their story.

Black Mesa Ranch proudly raises its livestock without antibiotics, hormones or other medications/treatments and practices free-range techniques. In fact, they are the first producer in Arizona to earn “Certified Humane Raised and Handled” accreditation.

Last week, Quiessence proudly presented a special dinner series featuring Black Mesa Ranch pork and we will continue to showcase their prized cheeses on our regular menu.

If you’re looking to get your hands on the artisan cheeses, the ranch is currently out of stock due to high demand. But don’t fret! There’s plenty of craftsmanship behind their Goat’s Milk Fudge, Spiced Pecans, and Chocolate-Dipped Apricots.
