There are many ways to get your cheese fix: going to the grocery store, joining a Cheese of the Month Club<\/a>, whipping up a quick batch<\/a> at home, or—if you want your cheese consumption to do some multitasking—you can try out a Cheese Share!<\/p>\n

Cheese Shares directly support your local farmers while also getting you fresh, delicious cheese. It\u2019s like a CSA<\/a> (Community Support Agriculture) for cheese. A win-win in our book.<\/p>\n

With most Cheese Shares you\u2019ll get to know the farm and farmers that perform the milk-magic and you\u2019ll also need to pick up your goods in person.<\/p>\n

Here are a few to check out:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

Blue Barn Products (CO)<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

In each share you will see one example of a strong cheese (blue or washed rind), a soft cheese, and a firm cheese. Sign Up online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
