COLLEGE PARK — State cheese makers are invited to join the Maryland Cheese Guild, a local nonprofit recently formed to promote artisanal cheesemaking in the Free State, according to a news release from University of Maryland Extension.
Alicia Clugh, mdcheese@verizon.net, guild coordinator, states “The mission of the Guild is to form a group of cheesemakers … both professional and amateur … to exchange ideas, share techniques 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.”
Interested parties can join the guild by visiting its website and completing the membership form. The guild offers three levels of membership: businesses, professionals and associates. The guild website also features a resources section, events section, and links to guild member organizations.
