Gethsemani Farms

Gethsemani Farms is a Trappist monastery located in Kentucky, primarily known for producing high-quality artisan cheeses. Established in the 1950s by monks seeking self-sufficiency, the farm emphasizes sustainable agricultural practices and deep spiritual values. The monks engage in various farming activities, including raising animals and growing crops, while also integrating their religious life. Their cheese production, particularly the famous "Gethsemani Cheddar," reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and quality. Gethsemani Farms operates with the goal of supporting their community and sharing their monastic heritage, all while fostering a connection to nature and local food traditions.
