EAGLE ROCK –– If there’s one food thing Northeast L.A. needed, it was cheese. While Auntie Em’s on Eagle Rock Boulevard does have a small selection of great cheeses, up until a few weeks ago, the true cheese shop experience required a trip to Pasadena or Silver Lake. But not anymore. Silver Lake Cheese Shop alum Leah Park Fierro has filled the niche with her new Colorado Boulevard shop Milkfarm. The neighborhood spot offers local and imported cheese, assorted meats, local gourmet products, and a glass case overflowing with fresh-made sandwiches and pastries….

In Eagle Rock, Leah Park Fierro opened her new shop, Milkfarm, last month. The formerCheese Store of Silver Lake cheesemonger celebrates artisan cheeses, meats and other food products – especially those made in LA. In fact, there are regular “meet the maker” tasting events in the shop with companies like Z Confections caramel corn and Savour This Sauce. While the cheese selection changes regularly, you’ll find familiar hunks and wheels from producers like Humboldt Fog, Point Reyes and Cowgirl Creamery, as well as special appearances from Italy’s Toma Della Rocca among others. And, yes, it’s great to stop in for cheese and all of the extras that make it so delicious, but definitely pop by for lunch: a roster of sandwiches includes things like Applewood smoked bacon with chipotle cheddar, shaved red onion, kale slaw and Dijon on Bread Lounge ciabatta; Iberico salchichon with majorero, chive onion compound butter on ficelle; and pate de campagne with black truffle Dijon, onion and kale slaw. Lunch is available from 11 AM-3 PM, but the shop opens daily at 11 AM and closes at 7 PM (5 PM on Sundays). 2106 W. Colorado Blvd.; 323-892-1068

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.
