“witness the centuries-old craftmanship”
Located in Seattle’s Pike Place Market and New York City’s Flatiron District, visitors to our glass-walled cheesemaking kitchens witness firsthand the centuries-old craftsmanship that goes into every batch of our award-winning cheese, including our signature Flagship. In 2002, having become firmly entrenched in the Seattle food scene, Kurt was walking through Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market and noticed that a long-time tennant had closed up shop.

He has long felt passionately about eating food free of harmful additives and preservatives, as well as believing that people should know more about the food they eat – where it comes from, what goes into it and how it is made. The Pike Place Market location - a Seattle mecca for fresh produce and handcrafted items - provided the opportunity to nearly encircle the cheesemaking kitchen with windows, allowing a live demonstration of all three of those tenets in an entertaining format.
