Have you been dreaming of starting your very own cheese making facility? And have you been searching for the perfect handbook on how to start one?
Well look no further than our brand new Apple iPad app – “How to start a cheesemaking business in Eastern Ontario.” This new app guides you through the cheese making process and the important steps involved. It contains all the information from what animal milk to choose and the pros and cons for each choice.
The app takes you on a virtual tour of a cheese making operation, showcases videos of entrepreneurs telling you their story and outlines a number of assets and benefits of locating your cheese making operation in Eastern Ontario.
The app is free to download and enjoy on your iPad. But for those not owning one just yet, you can contact us and request a PDF version be emailed to you. However, if you would like to see a demonstration of the app and talk to one of our Ambassadors in person, then please plan to attend the Great Canadian Cheese Festival on Sunday, June 5th. We’ll be at the Crystal Palace for the Cheese Fair & Artisan Cheese Market. Look for our display table there!
Historic Crystal Palace and the Picton Fairgrounds will make for quite a mouth-watering scene on June 4-5. That’s when the first-ever Great Canadian Cheese Festival takes place, bringing together the country’s leading cheesemakers from coast-to-coast so cheese lovers can meet to learn, talk, taste and buy the best in artisan, farmstead and specialty cheese – and sample fine wine, craft beer, cider and artisanal foods.
The two-day Festival features:
On Saturday, June 4, a keynote presentation to kick off proceedings, a full day of cheese-tasting seminars, pairing cheese with wine, beer and cider, a buffet lunch and in the evening, outstanding chefs using cheese to create tasting dished for the Cooks & Curds Cheese Gala.
On Sunday, June 5, a Cheese Fair & Artisan Cheese Market featuring more than 30 Canadian cheesemakers, more than 100 artisan and farmstead cheese to sample and purchase, winemakers and craft brewers offering tastings, too, plus a host of artisan food producers, with a tutored tasting of Canadian Cheese Grand Prix winners, a cheesemaking demonstration and whey more.
Plus: a six hour guided tour of local cheese plants and dairy farms on Friday or Saturday.
