Traders Point Creamery, Zionsville, IN Wins National Award for Cottage Cheese Production for Third Year
Traders Point Creamery in Zionsville is known for their excellent oganic, 100% grass-fed dairy products. Again this year they were recognized as one of the top manufacturers in the nation for their cottage cheese, winning the 2nd place standing in the category of Cultured Milk Products.
We make our cottage cheese the old fashioned way, said head cheese maker Lindsay Klaunig. We do it with the pillow cases and drip method and it takes a long time to get it just right. But if you want an excellent product, that is the way to do it.
Klaunig has been a part of Traders Point Creamery for nearly a year. Hired for her expertise in molded cheeses like the gouda for which Traders Point is known. In fact, prior to Klaunig joining the staff, they had all but depleted their supply of their signature cheese, Raw Milk Fleur de la Terre (Flower of the Earth). By early August, Klaunig had prepared and molded about 3500 pounds of the robust and unique-flavored cheese which allowed the Creamery to begin selling it outside of their restaurant, The Loft, once again.
In addition to the National Award, Traders Point Creamery also received notice this week that they were awarded The Clear Choice Award for 2011 from the Glass Packaging Institute for innovative use of glass for their cottage cheese. Their jars have become collectors items for many customers, reusing the beautiful jars which feature illustrations by internationally-known artist Nancy Noel on the lid and label.
Quality control at Traders Point Creamer is imperative and the latest results on the quality of their products showed that their grass-fed, organic milk and whole milk yogurt has a ratio of 1:1 of the good fats, Omegas 3 and 6, making it one of the most nutrient-rich and fat-balanced milks on the market. The optimal ratio is 4:1 or less, with typical conventional dairy being 14:1!
Although it is pushed in the medical field by some doctors to avoid fats, other experts realize that everyone needs them, in particular, Omega fats. The combination of these two omegas, which work together so one does not take over the other, provide a double whammy to diseases like arthritis, immune-inflammatory disease, and tumor proliferation, in addition to helping reduce triglycerides, blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. These important Omegas are also found in fish, but many people overlook the fact that they are also abundant in grass-fed beef and milk from grass-fed cows.
Every day Traders Point Creamery milks between 50 and 70 cows to produce their products, which are only sold in their stores and at a select few markets like Whole Foods. They have selected Brown Swiss cows to raise because of their high butterfat content, which averages 4 percent and 3.5 percent protein, providing an excellent base for their cheese production.
Traders Point Creamery has been in existence since 2003 as Indianas only 100% grass-fed organic dairy farm. Starting with an ice cream shop called the Dairy Bar, they expanded their barn built in the 1800s, and their restaurant, The Loft. Serving organic lunch and dinner, seven-days a week, they create incredible entrees using the products they raise: Grass-fed burgers, steaks, fresh vegetables from their gardens and other local farms, and of course, their famous cheese products. People visit The Loft and Traders Point Creamery from all across the country.
We have been blessed with a piece of land here that we are responsible for maintaining, said owner Dr. Peter Kunz. We believe that sustainable farming keeps the soil and the animals healthy, does not harm the environment, and supports and enhances the community. We are privileged to be a part of this healthy movement.
Traders Point Creamery holds many events, from a weekly Farmers Market to special cook outs, classes, educational programs, summer camps and tours. They were recently featured on the TV Program Make Your Life Healthy which airs in the Cincinnati area and has been syndicated by the Telos Digital Television Network.

Delphix Wins 2011 Red Herring 100 North America Award
Delphix, the market-leading provider of database virtualization software, today announced that it has been named to Red Herrings North America 100 list, a prestigious list honoring the years most promising private technology ventures in North America.
Since launching our product last year, weve seen adoption of database virtualization across all industries, said Jedidiah Yueh, Delphix CEO. With our software, businesses like TiVo, Corporate Express, Intuitive Surgical, SuccessFactors, Informatica, and Comcast roll out application projects faster, with far less operational complexity and hardware infrastructure. The Red Herring 100 award recognizes the impact our solution is making for customers across the globe.
Delphix applies the simplifying concept of virtualization to database infrastructure, turning structured data and its supporting infrastructure into software that operates in a fraction of the space, while preserving full functionality and performance. Customers of Delphix Server include members of the Fortune 1000 across major industries, including finance, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, retail, manufacturing, consumer goods, technology, and SaaS.
The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of thousands from across North America. Winners of the 2011 edition of the Red Herring 100 North America award were selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. Red Herring's annual lists of top private companies are an important part of the company's tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Past winners such as Google, eBay, and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work.
Over a decade ago, Red Herring selected Yuehs first software company, Avamar, as a Red Herring 100 winner. In 1999 Yueh founded Avamar, the software company that pioneered data de-duplication for disk backup, a multi-billion dollar category. After being acquired by EMC in 2006, Avamar has rocketed in global market share and was recently ranked as the highest rated backup software solution in product quality in the industry by Storage magazine. We believe database virtualizaiton will drive far more value and have a significantly larger impact on businesses than data de-duplication, added Yueh.
Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat, said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO, Red Herring. After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Delphix embodies the vision, drive, and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Delphix should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.

NAACP Image Award Winning Artist David G. Brown is Tapped to Exhibit in International Traveling Comic Book Show
David G. Brown, celebrated cartoonist, graphic artist and publisher, has been selected by the U.S. State Department and U.S. Consulate in Sao Paulo, Brazil to join 20 internationally known artists to exhibit his political cartoons and comic book work at the Museu Afro Brasil in Sao Paulo, October 11-16, 2009, as part of the Picha traveling exhibition. Picha presents a colorful image of the rich continent of Africa. "Picha" is also the African Swahili word for "drawing" and is a corruption of the English word, "picture." The exhibit showcases original drawings, comic books and comics published in newspapers and magazines from continental Africa, Brazil and the United States and focuses on the African Diaspora.
Says Brown, "I am very honored and humbled to be selected to represent North American by the U.S. Consulate. I am so passionate about my work. Art transcends racial and political landscapes. I am proud to be part of an effort that seeks to foster cultural and racial understanding through cartooning."
Cartooning, while growing popularity in the 20th century, has been an art form for thousands of years. Our ancestors began depicting what was important to them on cave walls and these drawings ranged from the very simple to extremely intricate. As our society became more sophisticated and technologically advanced, so did the art of cartooning and it permeates virtually every medium. It not only celebrates our history, but also our present condition.
Political cartooning has long been used as a light-hearted subterfuge to point out societal ills, ideologies and opinion. The Picha exhibition, originally created to highlight African comic artists, demonstrates that the art of cartooning is very much alive in Africa. The life of Mandela has been told in comic form in South Africa and the medium was used to warn soldiers about the dangers of AIDS in Ethiopia. By adding the comics of Brown and Brazilian artist Mauricio Pestana, Picha demonstrates the similarities and differences of African descendents on a global scale.
In addition to the exhibition, Brown will participate in a series of panel discussions with the 19 original African artists to offer Brazilian residents an original and creative view of the diversity and richness of comic culture.
Also part of the program, Brown will sign copies of his 1009 NAACP Image Award-winning book, Barack, Race and the Media: Drawing My Own Conclusions, a collection of political cartoons that he created and published at HQMIX Bookstore in Sao Paulo, along with Brazilian artist Mauricio Pestana on October 16th.
"It is a signal honor for Brazil to be able to have Brown join this traveling exhibit," says David C. Brooks, Consul for Political Affairs, U.S. Consulate General Sao Paulo, Brazil. An admitted Marvel Comics collector himself, Brooks added, "Having an African American cartoonist from the United States accomplishes one of the exhibits goals: to foster international mutual understanding and encourage discussions of diversity and common heritage between African and North Americans."
Concludes Brown, "These 20 artists have a body of work that will inform, educate, entertain and politically sensitize every visitor who attends the exhibit in their home town." He surmises, "By including my political pieces, especially on our first African American President, Barack Obama, a poignant statement is being made about how connected we continue to be to Mother Africa."
An animation/digital media instructor at David Starr Jordan High School in Watts, CA, Brown is looking forward to sharing his experience with his students upon his return from Brazil.
Picha is an initiative of the Dutch NCDO and is a twofold project. The exhibition highlights the works of 18 African comic writers and 1 scenario writer and a database has been created to which contains detailed information on comic artists and cartoons from 55 African countries.
Joost Pollman, managing director at the "Stripdagin" Haarlem, Netherlands and comic journalist for the Dutch newspaper "De Volkskrant", organized the exhibition. The exhibit was created at the Afrika Museum in the Netherlands in 2008 and has been to Lagos Africa, Palma de Mallorca, Spain and will culminate in Goes, Netherlands in December 2009. NCDO and The Prince Claus Fund provided funding for the exhibition. Picha in Brazil was curated by Dr. Sonia M. Bibe Luyten and Mauricio Pestana. The U.S. Consulate sponsored this cultural exchange as it strongly supports the objectives of the Brazil/U.S. Memo of Understanding and the Joint Action Plan for Racial and Ethnic Equality (JAPRE)
