From the farmlands of the Southern Tier to the pastures of the Hudson Valley and the high peaks of the Adirondacks, a growing number of highly skilled New York State cheese makers are creating quality, artisanal cheeses. These talented individuals have rediscovered what many believed was a lost art in the United States. Through intensive study and a strong dedication to the art of cheese making, the New York State cheese makers are bringing handcrafted, distinctive cheeses to market for consumers to enjoy.

You can support artisanal cheese making in New York by purchasing these extraordinary cheeses directly from the farms, at farmers' markets or at retailers, or by becoming a member of the Farmstead and Artisan Cheese Makers Guild. Whether you are a cheese maker, a cheese lover, or are in a related business, we welcome your participation. For more information, contact us.

 Our downloadable brochure containing the cheese maker list includes a MAP locating each cheese maker.
