At our last Guild meeting the group agreed that we would offer four (4) partial scholarships worth $500 towards attending the American Cheese Society Conference in Montreal this year, August 3 – 6. These scholarships will be given to Guild members who can attend the conference and who will then report on their experience at a future Guild meeting. At least one of the scholarship attendees will also be asked to blog about their conference experience on the Guild web site.
The 2011 Maine Cheese Guild ACS Scholarships were awarded to:
Amy Clark — Crookedface Creamery
Caitlin Hunter — Appleton Creamery
Deb Hahn — Hahn’s End
Eric Rector — Monroe Cheese Studio
Congratulations to you all!

We had a terrific meeting in Harrison at Little Falls Farm, a pretty unique place that produces 100% organic cheese by producing and using their own home-grown rennet.
