Culture Magazine's Winter issue features Manchester as it's centerfold cheese in the current, winter issue. A fascinating profile on how Consider Bardwell Farm creates it's singular, award-winning raw goat tomme.

Listen in to CBF's cheesemonger in residence, Poul Price (CCP ACS) as he discusses his journey in cheese and the trials and tribulations of professional mongering. As featured on Cutting The Curd on the Heritage Radio Network.

Cabot Creamery is the first dairy cooperative to achieve B Corporation Certification, a validation of its attention to environmental and social impacts on stakeholders, and a recognition that it meets rigorous and independent standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. 

And Cabot Creamery was so impressed with Dakin Farm's mail order business that they moved the mail order business over to them! Take a look for yourself at the Vermont bounty available now at Dakin Farm.
