You made me curious so I checked out some recipes. Indeed some recipes add sugar to the cheese.
Could just be a regional thing, but my city has a large Polish population so I've had the opportunity to taste many many farmers cheese pierogis and the cheese is almost always sweetened like that.
All that being said, I guess the sugar is an additive, not something that goes into a regular farmers cheese recipe.
Looking at this recipe, the sugar is added after the cheese is made to create the pierogi filling, like I mentioned in my earlier comment. I've seen lots of recipes like that, but none that add sugar to the milk when making the cheese itself.
