Tastes of the Great Lakes

​

​The Great Lakes region is known for its bountiful and diverse landscape and it proudly produces 15% of the country's daily products. The fertile soil results in abundant grass and grain growth which allows for a supply of creamy rich milk and is used by our local Master Cheesemaker, Chris Renard. 

Each of the seven cheeses under our Eat Local label have been hand selected to highlight the vastly rich and diverse flavor cheese produced in the Great Lakes Region. Our premium line includes award winning Mild Cheddar, creamy Medium Cheddar, rich Sharp Cheddar, Tangy Extra Sharp Cheddar, as well as the flavorful blends of Terrific Trio, Delicious Duo and robust Peppercorn Cheddar.
