Stirring the kettle, With President Jim

It IS Dairy Month and all the good things that are associated with June and milk and cheese and dairy products, and farmers, and cheesemakers, and dairy breakfasts, and well, you know! This issue has some exciting photos including visitors from abroad, a letter from a “Cheese Guy” with Green County connections, news from within the industry, an unusual artifact, a really, really difficult cheese puzzle, and others.

Tune in next month for a look at the life of Albert Deppeler, many talented cheesemaker, by Steve Stettler.

– Until next issue, Jim

 


The National Historic Cheesemaking Center is a tribute to those who have gone before…and is dedicated to the hard work and sacrifices of all those in the dairy industry who have made this area of southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois internationally famous.
The unique center recalls the rich heritage of the area and is illustrative of the lively cheese industry which still flourishes today.
