Buy Local: Rigby, ID's Manwaring Cheese

RIGBY, Idaho — Eyewitness News is ready for another installment of our "Buy Local" series. It's a chance to showcase local businesses making a splash here and outside the region.

Last week we took you inside the Grand Teton Brewing Company in Victor.

Now, it's time to take a trip to Rigby, and Manwaring Cheese — a handmade, locally produced, artisan cheese brand with a little shop and factory in one. It's just barely visible from the Highway 20 corridor, and there's no way around it — owner Blake Manwaring is admittedly, "cheesy."

"Actually that was my nickname in high school," he said.

The Manwarning family has been in the cheese business for generations. From grandpa, to dad, Manwaring grew up around cheese. But in the modern age, he's taking the Manwaring name to a new level, based on an old idea — the three-peg-milking stool.
