Big Woods Blue is the centerfold in the fall 2012 issue of CULTURE magazine!
CULTURE, the word on cheese magazine has selected a delicious combination
of Big Woods Blue cheese, Ames Buckwheat Honey and Urban Ovens
crackers.
Bold and creamy Big Woods Blue combines unexpected depth and classic
blue sharpness with a buttery, subtle sweetness. Named for the Big Woods
forest opposite the farm, this is an award-winning sheep's milk cheese
that hits the palate like fireworks but finishes smooth and mellow. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paydirt: Money Where Your Mouth Is
By Kara McGuire, Star Tribune
October 17, 2009
Slow money is a movement to invest in what you eat. Fed up with the
stock market? Sick of greedy megabanks and Wall Street bailouts? Then
take your money and invest in what you eat. That's the idea behind slow
money, a movement coming into its own at a time when interest in local
food is rising and exasperation over a global financial system gone wild
is high.
