About us
Our Story
At Cato Corner Farm we make raw farmstead cheese by hand from the delicious milk of our 45 Jersey cows. The cows are humanely raised on a pasture-based diet without growth hormones or subtherapeutic antibiotics. We feed a small amount of grain to complement the nutrition in the grass and hay. Our cheeses are our own unique recipes, based on traditional cheese making styles and highlighting the flavor and terroir of our pastures and our farm. Cato Corner Farm is owned and managed by the mother-son team of Elizabeth MacAlister and Mark Gillman.
Meet the people behind your food
Liz began making cheese in 1997. After raising goats and sheep since the 1970s, along with a few cows and chickens, the farm was not self-supporting. She saw cheese as a value-added product that would allow her to keep farming and earn a living. She started with 13 cows, selling cheese at farmers’ markets and a few area stores. Her son Mark has been back on the farm since 1999. He was teaching 7th grade English in Baltimore when his mom started making cheese. After three years in the classroom, he put his books in the attic and started helping out on the farm and in the cheese room. Now he makes cheese and supervises the cheese making and aging processes, manages the wholesale business, and takes care of the finances.
