Here in the Pine Tree state, cheese is part of the foundation of who we are.

Since 2003, the Maine Cheese Guild has been the driving force behind the fastest-growing cheesemaking state in America.


The Guild is made up of over 40 hard-working, independent cheesemakers, representing the vastly unique cheese culture of the state.

Great cheese starts with happy animals.

In Maine, our cheese starts with milk from cows, goats, sheep, and even water buffalo. They’re raised on farms that embody the back-to-the-land spirit that’s shaped this state for generations. Not every maker produces their own milk, but it always starts here.

Cows
Jersey, Holstein, Normande
Goats
Katahdin, Icelandic, Coopworth, Romney
Sheep
Alpine , Nubian, Oberhasli,  Toggenburg
Water Buffalo
River Buffalo
