Cheese Results from the New York State Fair... Far from Cheesy!

Many of you already know we are not just a wholesale cheese manufacturer, but also a retail cheese shop. We decided to show off our retail side on September 7, 2009 (Labor Day) at the New York State Fair, by giving away free samples of our Fresh Cheddar Cheese Curds. To reiterate the title of this blog post, the results were far from cheesy. We had a blast giving away free samples of the squeaky morsels, but we underestimated the power of cheese curds and ran out early!

We brought 60 pounds of our original (plain) cheddar cheese curds, 15 pounds of our ranch and chive cheese curds, 15 pounds of buffalo wing cheese curds, and 10 pounds of our bacon and chive cheese curds, but that wasn't enough! We intended on staying until close, but the final day of the fair brought many people out, as it was their last chance to look at all of the great exhibits in 2009, and we had to pack up by 3 PM. We wish we would have brought more samples and could have stayed longer for those who didn't get a chance to try... But there is always next year!

We hope to see you at the fair in 2010, and we promise to bring more cheese curds!
