That’s what’s coming with our new home at 684 South Ave., a compact space measuring somewhere around 780 square feet. The character of a building dating back to 1880 or so got thrown in by virtue of the space having been divided but not fully destroyed. Add in a hardwood floor, a fantastic location with awesome neighbors and we are confident it’s going to prove to be a great space for talking and tasting cheese.
Business permit in hand and soon taped in our front window - September 1 looms!!! Keys get handed over to the TLBCS team on that day - we are busy building our social media presence (look for our website to be up around mid-September); pulling cheese and gift vendors together to fill our cases, shelves and display table to provide you with pre-holiday shopping and gift-giving ideas; and planning cheese tastings, wine pairings and meet the cheesemaker events!
Excited? Yeah. Nervous? Of course. Confident we will be welcomed with open arms by the food community? Only on rare and brief moments of insanity have I doubted it.
Thank you cheesemakers; thank you cheese lovers – I’m here because of you.
