Prodigal Farm

Prodigal Farm, located in rural Rougemont, North Carolina, was known for its pastured, Animal Welfare Approved goat herd and its commitment to producing high-quality, farmstead cheeses. Founded by Dave Krabbe and Kathryn Spann, the farm became a beloved part of the local community, offering fresh cheese and produce that celebrated Durham's rich farming heritage. Over the years, the farm built a reputation for its artisanal products and dedication to animal welfare.

Centered around a pastured goat herd, Prodigal Farm adhered to Animal Welfare Approved standards, ensuring the humane treatment of their animals. The farm's practices emphasized the interconnectedness of animal welfare, land stewardship, and high-quality food production. By focusing on sustainable farming methods, they maintained the health of their land and animals, producing cheeses and other products that reflected their commitment to ethical farming.

Prodigal Farm was a licensed farmstead cheese dairy, offering a range of handcrafted cheeses, breads, and produce. Although the farm has since been sold and the goats have found new homes, the legacy of Prodigal Farm lives on in the memories of the community and the high standards they set for local farming.
