I rarely go now but my cousin and I used to often make cheese excursions each year into Wisconsin.
We would find and stop at places, often where it was made and buy pound of fresh, squeaky teeth fresh Cheddar or Colby, now we also stopped at places for smoked sausage and what ever tickled our pig-out bones of the moment.
Colby Wisc. was what got the ball rolling years ago, as that was where Colby cheese was first created, sadly the butcher shop and cheese The store/coffee shop that got the ball rolling are both gone now, so we no longer go to Colby, Wisc.
This coming spring/summer I/we are going to try to get to the three cheese makers in Minnesota where you can get fresh Cheddar, again squeaky fresh, and due a cruise into Wisc. that also has a gun shop along the way we stopped at several times six or seven years ago.
Bongard's Creamery, in Bongards Minnesota sadly has stopped making Colby, and we used to go their and get it from the Creamery store for half of what it costs in a grocery store.
IF I/we, my other half like to stop at such places when we go on a trip, take a trip out east, Penn., Ohio, Indiana, I am going to look up online cheese makers and try some.
