Good Evening Cheese Lovers!We just went to a great Christmas light display and got away from cheese for a few hours. But, the love has pulled us back here. To you. And emails… but we digress.What a week. Hopefully, you’ve been able to enjoy our cheese this week if you’re reading this…. And if not, next week. For us, it was one of the craziest and most successful weeks of our short history, thanks to awesome employees, well-maintained equipment (thanks to our contractors: electrician, plumber, a vendor named Jerry, whom drops off our softener salt by hauling it down into...

Hello Cheese Lovers,This is either the Beginning of the End, or the Middle of the Beginning of the End - or potentially even the End of the Middle of the Beginning of the End - of Cheese Season 2020. Regardless, it has been fun and tear-invoking and challenging and filled with laughter and quarantine-y and great, so far. Thank you for your continued support.We don't really have time to write a great newsletter today, but we do have time to write a newsletter today. We'll be brief:The Cheese Van comethTo those who've ordered. THANK YOU. We need to split our...

Happy Sunday, Cheese Lovers!Hope you had a great weekend with family via Zoom, Skype, Teams or even in-person interaction. Like you, we’ve had COVID amongst our family and friends. It is a nerve-wracking time, especially dependent on their age and condition. We appreciate those who got out of their home to shop our store this weekend and were so respectful to our employees (that’s everyone! No bad apples this weekend 😊).We also appreciate those who are ordering delivery or for takeout. It is an odd time. The current Executive Order explicitly forbids outdoor farm tours and obviously restaurant service, so...

Good afternoon Cheese Lovers,First and foremost, outside beer and wine (unless that law is changed...), EVERYTHING in our store is now online. And that's very relevant due to what we're going to cover next.Executive Order 20-99 ChangesWe’ll cut to the chase and get to the changes to our operations as part of the latest Executive Order, 20-99, and to do our part for COVID-19:We are ending Farm Tours, immediately, for the next four weeksWe will continue our store hours 12 to 2:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

If you stop by the farm, you'll hopefully...

Good morning Cheese Lovers!Good Food Award Finalists!We previewed it last week, but wow-wow-wow. We are in the running for the 2021 Good Food awards, being named Finalists this week for North Fork Whiskey Washed Munster! We received the judging sheets back, and let's just say there was not much left to desire according to their accolades, so fingers crossed that we can pull out a win. https://goodfoodfdn.org/awards/finalists/About 30 cheeses from around the country were named Good Food Finalists. Last year, 16 were named winners. Normally, this is bestowed at a big ado in San Francisco. With the pandemic, a virtual...

Good morning Cheese Lovers!It’s a big week, huge week. And we aren’t even talking about the Presidential Election, Vikings and Gophers wins, or the upcoming Veterans Day – and we’ll say on the latter, Veterans Day is almost missed in much of the country; but when we lived in Vermont it is noticed and many businesses are closed in observation. Thank you to all those who’ve served, including our own family members.No, we aren’t talking about all that – we’re talking the calm before the storm. We expect to run low on certain items so please order soon so we...

Hello Cheese Lovers,We are getting close. Yes, we know, we know, the holidays are several weeks away. But here, it’s fewer than 11 days. We long-ago hit the cutoff for many of our cheeses, like St. Anthony (2 to 7 months), Lucky Linda (6 to 12 months) and Margie (3 months to 24 months) – which all take months to years to add to their aging process. But November 11 will be the final day we can make young munster or Brie for Thanksgiving delivery.But it is most likely that any cheese purchased (minus Ridiculously Good Cheese Curds) was made...
