No longer do residents of Eagle Rock have to go to villages in the Swiss Alps, the plains of the Netherlands or the fields of Wisconsin to obtain top quality cheeses. A cheese shop of our very own has at last landed in Eagle Rock. 

Milkfarm, an artisan cheese shop, opened in Eagle Rock on Colorado Boulevard. Among the many stores on Colorado Boulevard, the shop adds cheesy originality and classy ambiance to the Eagle Rock community.

Upon entering Milkfarm, customers are greeted by a cool breeze, friendly faces and an impressive array of cheeses, ranging from French Bucherondin to classic Wisconsin Cheddar.

Eagle Rock gets a cheesy start to the year via Milkfarm, an artisan cheese shop founded by Leah Park Fierro (Silverlake Cheese Shop) and opening some time inlate February. Currently in construction, the shop takes over a former office building on Colorado Blvd, right in the main drag of Eagle Rock.

Planning a wide selection of charcuterie, cheeses, and other artisanal-based products, Fierro is applying for an ABC license to serve wines and craft beers on site. Finally, Milkfarm will preparecustom cheese plates, sandwiches, and gift baskets.

Eagle Rock as a whole hasn’t been getting quite the development thatHighland Park has gotten over the past year, perhaps due to higher rents in the area, but the proximity to Glendale and Pasadena, as well as the rest of the Eastside, makes it a strategic place to start putting in quality food establishments.
