Little Cedar - Farmhouse Goat Cheese
Moussa and Victoire moved to a 70-acre farm at Winton in North East Victoria in early 2020 with their two children to raise Saanen dairy goats and make farmhouse goat cheese. Moussa grew up in Bsharry — the Lebanese village adjacent to the ancient Cedars of God — and worked as a mining engineer for 15 years before pursuing the cheese-making tradition of his people. Victoire completed a PhD in animal science in Australia after agricultural studies in France, and her dormant French cheese genetics took over once Moussa began milking. The farm operates Tue-Sat from September to May: cheese tasting, paddock-to-plate grazing platters by booking, farm tours, children's playground, Saanen stud breeding. Closed winter. The operating philosophy is regenerative, chemical-free, animal-friendly — and explicitly framed around subsidiarity, stewardship, and the common good.
