The name says it all: Maryland (that’s obvious) Cheese (also obvious, but I don’t want to exclude other dairy products) and Guild. That took a little time. But a Guild fits perfectly for what I want. I want a group of cheesemakers…both professional and amateur…to exchange ideas, share technique and challenge each other to grow and create. The Guilds of old set standards and their mark on something meant quality. That’s what I hope the Maryland Cheese Guild will come to represent.
