We had a terrific meeting sitting in the sun(!) on Monday, April 13th at 10am at Fuzzy Udder Creamery in Whitefield together with Imaginedairy Creamery. We got to see Fuzzy Udder’s continuing progress in developing her new cheese facility, and learned more about how Arlene Brokow at Imaginedairy is sharing this facility for some of her work. Please note this was a change to the previously scheduled April 6th, 2015 meeting.

We held our January meeting at the Maine Agricultural Trade Show at the Augusta Civic Center on Tuesday, January 13th at 10am. There was a nice turn-out along with some fresh faces. Representatives from the Department of Ag were present to help answer licensing and inspection questions. There was a long discussion about membership benefits and outreach to members and non-members (especially licensed cheese making non-members). We also learned that Farms for Maine’s Future has decided to re-submit legislation allowing the sale of unlicensed dairy products during this legislative session. We decided to discuss this in-depth during our February meeting at Pineland Farms Creamery.
