Or perhaps a friend or family member? If you’re interested, simply send Ruth an email and she’ll take it from there (please include Job Opportunity in the subject line): ruth@monfortedairy.com
Cheese in the Time of Covid (Or, Why Your Cheese May Be a Little Late This Week)
Little things have gigantic impacts. It is, after all, just a bunch of tiny bacteria that transform milk into cheese, or as Clifton Fadiman famously suggested, hastens “milk’s leap toward immortality.” So, as cheesemakers, we spend most of our time celebrating those little bugs.

But most of the time, it’s a magical process.
