1. St. James Cheese Company<\/a><\/h1>\n

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Self-proclaimed as \u201ca playground for the cheese rookie and rind-sniffing expert,\u201d this hotspot for cheese in the Big Easy used to pride itself on the in-store experience offered at two locations: uptown and in the downtown Warehouse District. But all that changed once the pandemic hit. Now, the latter shop is temporarily closed, and connecting with consumers requires innovation…and an internet connection. \u201cAll this upheaval forced us to really get our online business in good working order,\u201d explains co-owner Danielle Sutton. \u201cWe tripled the amount of cheeses, charcuterie, and specialty foods we have on our website, and customers can order for local pick-up or nationwide delivery.\u201d In addition to an expansive cheese and accompaniment selection, the in-store restaurant also pivoted to a full takeout model with limited outdoor seating (think: cheese-filled sandwiches, salads, and charcuterie). But amidst all this disruption, Sutton and the rest of the staff have been able to find silver linings. They launched virtual pairing classes that have drawn large crowds, hosted pop-up farmers markets, and stayed focused despite the challenges of hurricane season and COVID scares. \u201cOur customers have been so supportive and our team have been amazing troopers\u2014despite the \u2018Groundhog Day\u2019 drudgery feeling we all have sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

MADISON, WISCONSIN<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the heart of America\u2019s Dairyland, this Madison shop was used to crowds of cheese lovers looking to smell, touch, and sample their wide selection of wheels. Then COVID changed everything. \u201cTraditionally, our store is packed with customers from all over the world,\u201d explains Fromagination owner Ken Monteleone. \u201cThis year we have been looking at new ways to excite them.\u201d That included putting together social distancing kits, DIY cheese boards, a Victory Cheese box<\/a>, plus other delivery-friendly products offered on their online shop<\/a>\u2014all of which were a hit. \u201cIn a matter of weeks we sold well over 1,000 kits,\u201d Monteleone says. Although they faced a major setback when their store was damaged during backlash to the Black Lives Matter protests, Fromagination saw this as an opportunity to give back, and launched a Women in Cheese gift set<\/a> that allowed customers to choose a $10 donation to a charity of their choice\u2014a symbol of this retailer\u2019s ongoing determination and selflessness.<\/p>\n

3.  Plymouth Artisan Cheese<\/a><\/h1>\n

PLYMOUTH NOTCH, VERMONT<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second-oldest cheese factory in the U.S., Plymouth Artisan Cheese is rich with history. It was founded in 1890 by Colonel John Coolidge\u2014the father of President Calvin Coolidge\u2014whose iconic recipe has been passed down for generations. Under new owner Jesse Werner, it remains a family-run enterprise that produces traditional, raw milk cheddars with old-school equipment in its original building. Keeping all that charm alive during the pandemic has been difficult; it has meant making major changes to keep their customers safe and satisfied. Plymouth pivoted to allow for curbside pickup and window service options, and revamped their website to ease the experience of virtual shoppers. And although the on-site museum and education center had to shut down for safety reasons, the company continues to host socially distant events on the farm, where \u201cFarmer Fred\u201d entertains families with traditional farming activities\u2014like sheep shearing and wagon rides.<\/p>\n
