About Us
Good Hands Creamery is owned and operated by Liz Bleakley— a former physician assistant, and Nachiket Kumar— a designer.
We moved to Vermont in 2020 to expand our small urban vegetable farm and find our place. Falling in love with cheesemaking was not a part of the plan.
Our work is inspired by a love of cheese, microbiology and human health and an awe of the ancient relationship between humans and dairy animals.
We enjoy the technical and creative aspects of cheesemaking, and bringing joy to people’s faces with food.
Besides operating the creamery, we occasionally make other fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut, available only at our farmstand. Liz also serves as a board advisor for the Vermont Cheese Council.
