We’re continuing our National Goat Cheese Month celebration with a beautiful example of fresh American chèvre: Noble Springs Dairy Plain Chèvre.
Located just outside Franklin, Tennessee, Noble Springs Dairy is a family-owned Grade A goat dairy and artisan cheesemaking operation founded by Dustin and Justyne Noble in 2009. Their farm sits among rolling valleys and natural springs, with the land protected by a conservation easement so it will remain farmland for generations.
What makes Noble Springs especially special is their commitment to their goats and their land. The goats graze on the farm's natural forages, which gives the milk—and ultimately the cheese—its distinctive character. The Nobles raise several breeds, including Alpine, Saanen, Toggenburg, and Nubian goats, and every animal has its own name and personality.
Their plain chèvre is made from pasteurized goat's milk, rennet, culture, and sea salt. The milk is cultured and transformed into the soft, fresh cheese that has become Noble Springs' signature product—chèvre makes up the majority of their production.
Fresh, creamy, tangy, and wonderfully clean, this chèvre has the classic bright lemony character of fresh goat cheese with a smooth, spreadable texture. It's mild enough for someone just discovering goat cheese but flavorful enough to keep longtime chèvre lovers coming back.
And its versatility is practically endless: spread it on crusty bread, crumble it over salads, add it to sandwiches, pair it with honey and fruit, or simply put it on a cracker and enjoy.
Fun fact: Noble Springs' goats aren't just part of the farm—they're part of the family. The dairy even offers educational farm tours and baby-goat experiences, giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the goats, milking parlor, and cheesemaking process.
Come celebrate National Goat Cheese Month with us and discover why sometimes the simplest cheese is the most delicious. 🐐🧀🍷
