Maine Cheese goes to China!

IMG_1448IMG_1451IMG_1449On Monday, October 26, Beijing Cheese lovers celebrated Fall in New England, with a selection of artisan cheeses from Maine. Over 100 people, including many Maine ex-pats, turned out to enjoy the evening’s activities, which included a quiz about Maine. Cheeses were represented by Appleton Creamery, Hahn’s End and State of Maine Cheese Co. A good time was had by all! Thanks to Bambi Jones for hand-carrying and delivering the cheese, and avoiding the infamous cheese-sniffing dogs.

The meeting took place Monday, October 5th at the homestead of John and Mary Belding in Harrison, Maine, on the banks of the Crooked River where they raise and milk goats to make organic aged cheese (including the vela for rennet!), pigs, chickens, turkeys, and lots of hay that they harvest and pack loose in their goat barn.
