More Cheese & More Places to Find it

From what I understand, the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years Day will be our busiest time of the year, so I'm in the midst of ramping up production to meet demand.

And, speaking of demand, there are some new places to find our cheese.

Pairings Food and Wine in Minnetonka & Grass Roots Gourmet in Minneapolis are our newest vendors. Pairings is a beautiful space housing a cafe/market alongside a well-thought-out wine area. You'll find Grass Roots Gourmet in the Midtown Global Market--a place that has long been on my list to visit. Rows and rows of stores stocking items from around the world...now that I've seen it in person, I can't wait to go back for a few hours of strolling, tasting, and shopping. Vicki, the proprietor of Grass Roots, was a joy to meet and such an obviously dedicated proponent of local and sustainable food.

Also, Lucia's Restaurant and Cafe has started serving Bent River. Some posts back, you might recall Alemar Cheese was part of a lunch honoring Lucia. A few days later I received a lovely thank you note from Lucia, and she asked if she could carry our cheese. Of course we are honored to be a part of this great Minnesota institution!

Head down now, into "holiday" mode. Have a great week...
