The Cheese Club at the Co-op
The Cheese Club is a monthly cheese subscription club for Co-op members hosted by Helen McIntosh, Co-op cheese buyer and local chef.
This is an opportunity to get first dibs on new, specialty, and seasonal cheeses from the Co-op. When you sign up for cheese club you agree to purchase an 8 oz. piece of the “Cheese of the Month” or upgrade to any size piece. The Cheese of the Month will be pre-selected and emailed to cheese club members and published here with the price and a brief description. Members have the option to opt out of any month. Cheese pickup will be once a month around the 15th.
Cheese Club Member perks:
-
Help pick the cheese of the month. Make special requests! Share your cheese knowledge and passion.
-
Give feedback after tasting the cheeses and vote on whether the Co-op should stock each cheese.
-
Earn a $5 reward coupon after three months of cheese club participation.

Cheese tasting party at the coop twice annually for cheese club members. We will sample cheeses from the Co-op and pair them with other delicious items (spreads, preserves, fruits, crackers, nuts, chocolates, etc...) available at the Co-op. Members can bring cheeses or cheese pairings to share.

The Goat Project, Chevre
A local cheese from Bennington, VT! A cheese club member turned me on to this exquisitely fresh and simple chevre made just over this border and we are excited to debut it for cheese club and then continue to stock it along with their goat milk soap.
Becca's herd of Nubian goats is pastured on native grasses and herbs and relishes nibbling on brushy invasives in the hedgerows. Nubian goats are known for their high fat-content milk, as delicious to eat as it is to rub on your skin in soap form!
Becca Knouss, owner and farmer, settled in Bennington and started the Goat Project in 2015 after working on numerous other farms and dairies.
Eat it with a spoon, spread it on bread, crumble in a salad, pair it with fresh fruits, bake it into a cheesecake! Truely fresh chevre like this one is so versatile and less tangy than the conventional grocery store goat cheese logs with a lighter texture.
