Wisconsin Cheese Originals
Of course, they’ve been making cheese in Wisconsin ever since, well, ever since cows arrived in America’s Dairyland. So, Road Trips Foodies, it’s a surprise that there hasn’t been a cheese festival — until now! The first annual Wisconsin Original Cheese Festival will be held November 6 and 7, 2009, in Madison (the state’s capital city). Festival-goers will get to taste hundreds of cow, goat and sheep milk cheeses at the event, sponsored by Wisconsin Cheese Originals (an organization dedicated to the state’s artisanal cheeses). For more details, check the website or contact Jeanne Carpenter, executive director of Wisconsin Cheese Originals.
