Mission |
The New York State Farmstead and Artisan Cheese Makers Guild, Inc. is a membership based non-profit organization established in 2003 with a mission to foster a strong and vibrant farmstead cheese making sector in the State and to support its growth. The purpose of the Guild is to: • Encourage excellence in farmstead cheeses resulting from appropriate continuing education and technical assistance to cheese makers at all levels of competence. • Assist in the development and adoption of procedures that will ensure public safety with regard to production and processing of milk. • Seek out and use farm management practices that nourish and sustain the soil and the soul of the surrounding landscape and community. • Advocate the continuation and preservation of family farms while promoting farmstead-scale cheese making as a craft and livelihood in the State. |

Description | We see our Guild as not only a kind of support group for cheese makers – who often have technical questions about the cheese making process – but also as a face to the rest of the world: here we can come together across the miles that separate our NY farms and share pride in our products. | ||||||||||||||||||||
