Cheeses made with milk collected from a group of farms that are located within close proximity to where the cheese is produced. Typically, the owners of the farms raise their animals on similar grasses, in similar areas and with similar methods to produce the milk that is used in the production of the cheese. A similar term often associated with European cheeses is "farmhouse" cheese used in reference to lower volume produced cheeses made on individual farms that are situated in valleys, in mountainous areas and in meadows of Europe.
