Just like the colleges and schools that are wrapping up with graduations, the Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker Program has another round of graduates. While we have over 1200 licensed cheesemakers in Wisconsin, for those seeking to reach the pinnacle of their craft, the Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker certification is the ultimate achievement as Wisconsin is the only place outside of Switzerland with this program.

Among this year’s graduate class is Sara Griesbach. She works at Nasonville Dairy and has now become the third-ever woman to complete the prestigious Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker program. She tells Mid-West Farm Report more about this process, but first she tells us how she got into cheesemaking in the first place.
