Where are all the cheesemakers?

They sure aren’t in Oklahoma! We searched far and wide for the last few months and just couldn’t find an experienced cheesemaker that was willing to move to our great state. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we were able to find an Okie with the desire to become a cheesemaker and an awarding winning Wisconsin cheesemaker that jumped at the opportunity to come to Oklahoma and train us how to make cheese.

Al Bekkum is a licensed Wisconsin butter maker and cheesemaker, crafting some of the finest, award-winning goat and cow's milk artisan cheese in Wisconsin. He spent the entire spring here in Oklahoma training our cheesemaker, Gary Huffstutlar. Pictured is Al and his wife Sarah, thier five boys and daughter on their farm in Wisconsin.
