Moonstruck Organic Cheese from Saltspring Island has been producing exceptional organic cow’s milk cheeses since 1998. Slow Cheese participants and Terra Madre delegates, Julia and Susan Grace adhere to good, clean and fair practices on their Saltspring Island Farm over and above the requirements of their certified organic status.
GOOD
a fresh and flavorsome seasonal diet that satisfies the senses and is part of the local culture.
Moonstruck cheeses are transformed from raw milk from their small herd of jersey cows into small batches of cheeses using traditional recipes that aim to preserve as much as the flavour as possible.
CLEAN
food production and consumption that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or human health.
All of the Moonstruck cheeses are made from organic milk, and when it comes to ethical treatment of their animals they know "the healthier and happier they are, the better is their milk." Our cows are the foundation of our company. The healthier and happier they are, the better is their milk.

FAIR
accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers.
By having a small team and selling through direct connection with their customers the Moonstruck cheesemakers are able to sustain themselves while providing accessible, artisinal cheese
The Sooke Harbour House has been proudly serving Moonstruck Organic Cheese from the beginning. In fact, SHH was one of Moonstruck’s first restaurant customers! We asked SHH Chef Oliver Kienast and his crew of fantastic cooks to tell us what they love about and how they like to use Moonstruck cheeses.
