Dense and irresistible, satiny-rich paste. An adorable little hatchling from the Hudson Valley. The Story Located in Stephentown, in the Hudson Valley, Four Fat Fowl’s name is a nod to an early colonial landholding system. Dutch settlers introduced “patroonship”, a sort of friendly version of the feudalism. Stephen Van Rensseleer, whose name is lent to the county, town, and cheese, was a “patroon”, or landlord, known to be especially forgiving when it came to rent, even letting established residents almost entirely off the hook. After seven year’s tenant ship, a year’s rent cost only one day of labor, twenty bushels of wheat, and, you guessed it, four fat fowl.
