Argyle Cheese Farmer

Argyle Cheese Farmer crafts award-winning dairy products in upstate New York using A2/A2 milk from our own Ideal Dairy Farm, just three miles from our creamery. From artisan cheeses and creamy yogurts to dips and farm-fresh favorites, our products are made with exceptional farm-fresh milk, simple ingredients, and a commitment to quality you can taste.

Argyle Cheese Farmer’s story began in 2007, when Marge and Dave Randles built the Cheese House on Dave’s family farmstead in Argyle, New York—a farmstead that had been in operation since 1860. From there, they began crafting high-quality cheeses, yogurts, buttermilk and other dairy products, selling directly from the Cheese House, at farmers markets throughout the region and New York City, and through local retailers and restaurants.

In 2020, Argyle Cheese Farmer partnered with Ideal Dairy Farms, a sixth-generation dairy farm, and expanded into a larger processing facility in Hudson Falls, New York. The partnership allowed Argyle Cheese Farmer to greatly expand its production while remaining closely connected to the farm and the milk at the heart of its products.

Today, our cheeses, yogurts and other dairy products are made with A2 milk from Ideal Dairy Farms. The farm has DNA tested its herd and isolated a group of approximately 250 cows that naturally produce only the A2 beta-casein protein. From that milk, we create handcrafted cheeses, yogurts and other dairy products with a focus on quality, flavor and simple ingredients.

At Argyle Cheese Farmer, we believe that food brings people together—and that how it is produced matters. We’re proud to continue sharing locally made, award-winning dairy products rooted in generations of farming and a passion for producing quality food for families to enjoy around their tables.
