At Shepherds Manor Creamery, Colleen and Michael Histon birthed lambs, milked ewes and made award-winning cheese. But the work was hard, and now they’re closing.
. She estimated she made about 10,000 pounds of cheese a year, including several varieties of tommes, Colbys, a feta, a mascarpone-like ewe cream and a blue.
“We had a passion, and you have to have a passion to be willing to do all the work that we’ve done, to work 18 hours a day, seven days a week,” she said. “I said, I have no shoulder strength … so this is the way I’ve been doing it for a season and a half,” he said, describing his search for ways to ease the throbbing pain. “I always sleep in the La-Z-Boy, or I’ll change bed to bed to bed to bed … One time I went and slept in the truck because it was the most comfortable chair I could find.”
Michael’s next goal is to find a waterfront property for Colleen, somewhere on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In the meantime, they plan to move into the basement of their son’s home, 16 miles away in Finksburg, to spend time with their three grandchildren, including a grandson born in April.
