We’re always excited to partner with Lisa in celebrating and supporting our amazing local cheesemakers! After years promoting craft beer, Lisa discovered there were over 40 licensed cheesemakers in Washington but no event to showcase them—so she launched the Washington Artisan Cheesemakers Festival in 2012 to shine a spotlight on their work.

The festival took a pause due to the pandemic but Lisa found a new way to bring local cheese to people’s tables: the Washington Cheese Box. She curates and delivers selections of local cheeses, working directly with cheesemakers to share the best of Washington cheese. This season’s box is perfect for summer! From creamy and spreadable to firm and grillable, these cheeses pair beautifully with fresh fruit, crusty bread, and sunny picnics.
