Treeline Cheese, which has reinvented non-dairy cheese with an artisanal process, announces a matching gift to Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Farm Animal Program. Through August, Treeline will match every gift, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000, supporting Dixon, a one-year-old Holstein cow.
Dixon was considered ‘surplus’ by a dairy farmer, because males can’t produce milk. Thanks to a kind rescuer, Dixon will now spend the rest of his life in safety at Farm Sanctuary. Most “dairy boys” like Dixon aren’t as lucky.
“We are proud to again partner with Farm Sanctuary. At Treeline, we offer consumers a more compassionate choice with dairy-free and cruelty-free cheeses that rival the best-tasting cheeses from France and Italy,” says Treeline’s Founder, Michael Schwarz.
With an array of cheeses, Treeline draws on traditional dairy cheese-making methods. Treeline actually ferments, or cultures, creamy cashew nuts with a healthy probiotic, known as L. Acidophilus. This produces a creamy consistency, smooth texture and the rich, natural flavors normally associated with fine dairy cheeses. In addition to its recently introduced cream cheeses, Treeline makes 4 flavors of soft French-Style cheese – Herb Garlic, Scallion, Sea Salt & Pepper and Chipotle-Serrano – and 2 varieties of aged cheese wheels: Classic and Cracked Pepper Aged Cheese.
According to Farm Sanctuary CEO Megan Watkins, “At Farm Sanctuary, we value animals as individuals—not commodities. Honoring Dixon will also fund our larger rescue, education, and advocacy work: enabling us to provide refuge to more survivors like Dixon, shed light on the cruelty they face in the dairy industry, and fight to change laws that perpetuate these standards.”

Treeline is available online at www.treelinecheese.com and nationwide in over 3,000 stores, including local health food stores, co-ops and ‘chain’ stores such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralphs and Wegmans.
