About the Farm
Kurtwood Farms is my bit of ground, located on Vashon Island, a short boat ride from Seattle. Just thirteen acres in size, the farm is home to a dozen Jersey cows, three hogs, a couple of farm dogs, a couple of dozen laying hens and myself.
Primarily, this farm is all about the cheese that I produce from the milk of those fine cows. Available now is Dinah’s Cheese a luscious, soft, buttery Camembert-style cheese. Aging in the new underground cave is Francesca’s Cheese, a twelve month aged Italian-style, nine pound hard cheese.
About Kurt

Kurt Timmermeister was born in 1962 in the heart of Seattle, no where near farm country. Anticipating working in foreign service, he graduated from the American College in Paris with a degree in International Affairs. While in Paris he realized his love of food and restaurants far surpassed his affinity for government work and he returned to Seattle to begin a career in food service.
