DRIPPING SPRINGS BABBLE: PURE LUCK CELEBRATES 15 YEARS WITH A NEW LOOK

PURE LUCK CELEBRATES 15 YEARS WITH A NEW LOOK

Our love of Pure Luck goat cheese made right here in Dripping Springs is unabashed. And while we are often loathe to see things change in Dripping, in this case we make an exception. Launching today, Pure Luck is celebrating15 years of family-run cheesemaking with new packaging and design. But Amelia Sweethardt, Pure Luck's owner and president, assures that nothing has changed but their look and "we’re the same people making the same great product.”

Pure Luck Farm & Dairy was founded by Amelia’s mother, legendary cheesemaker Sara Bolton, who initially raised organic vegetables on an eight-acre farm bordering Barton Creek, just outside of Dripping. In 1988, the farm was among the first in Texas to be recognized by the Texas Department of Agriculture as a “Certified Organic Farm.” The batches of goat cheese that Sara made for family and friends were so well received that in 1995 she made the major decision to start a Grade A Goat Dairy. Since then, the family farm and dairy have expanded and Pure Luck’s dedication to quality and the family’s love for the goats have resulted in many national cheese honors.

Amelia and her husband Ben Guyton, along with a small dedicated team, continue to run the dairy and organic farm, now spanning nearly 50 acres and home to a herd of 100 Nubian and Alpine goats. Pure Luck features five types of handmade cheeses including fresh chevre seasoned and offered in eight flavors with a new release coming out next month called June’s Joy, a fresh chevre flavored with Good Flow local honey, smoked peppercorns and thyme. We had the opportunity to taste June's Joy at the recent Heritage Gala at the Dr. Pound Museum and it was heavenly.

Congratulations to Amelia, Ben and the Pure Luck team. We know the design change was a big and thoughtful decision and it looks fantastic.
