Meet Karen Lindsay, the heart and hands behind Little White Goat Cheese, nestled on a picturesque farm in Wamuran, Queensland that she runs with her husband Ross. What started as a humble venture making goat’s milk soap for herself and her grandkids has blossomed into a truly inspiring food story. After attending a local cheesemaking class, Karen found her passion — and a whole new path — in cheese. That simple class marked the beginning of what would become a 15-year journey supplying handcrafted Persian Goat Feta to high-end restaurants, chefs, IGAs, and local shops.

Life on the farm is full of colour and character, with around 60 goats — 20 of them her beloved milking girls. But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, everything changed. Like so many others, Karen's thriving business came to a standstill. The restaurants closed, the orders stopped, but her goats kept on milking… and Karen kept on cheesemaking. With a fridge full of unsold cheese and a resilient spirit, she looked for a new solution — and found it in a world-first idea: freeze-dried goat feta.

This innovative product not only gave her cheese an impressive 18-month shelf life, but also opened up new opportunities far beyond the Sunshine Coast. The freeze-dried feta has since become a hit in outback areas, with foodies, restaurants and chefs and is loved for its flavour, convenience, and ability to reduce food waste. It’s also gluten-free, lactose-free, and absolutely delicious. The first batch sold out in a day on Buy From the Bush, and the momentum hasn’t stopped.

Karen is deeply connected to her community and continues to sell her cheese through local farmers’ networks like Reko Rings and Farmgate, while collaborating with fellow producers and chefs who proudly use and promote her products. She also runs an online store where customers can conveniently purchase her freeze-dried goat feta. Even her granddaughter has joined the legacy, now running the original soap business herself.

From paddock to plate, Karen’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and pure creativity. Whether you’re a chef, a camper, a foodie, or just someone who loves real food with a real story, Little White Goat Cheese brings you something truly special — and always made with love.
