CHEESE! Say it, see it, read it, buy it, sign it, etc.

Hi Farmshedders, I invited a pair of old college buddies who just came
out with a new book to stop by Point on their publicity tour. This
book would make an awesome gift to the cheese lover in your life, and
you can have it signed! Come by Emy J's Friday the 13th at 1pm!

Join Central Rivers Farmshed in welcoming Becca Dilley and James
Norton to Stevens Point to share their hot-off-the-press book, The
Master Cheesemakers of Wisconsin. A husband and wife team, James and
Becca spent months traveling around to Wisconsin dairies,
photographing and interviewing the state's finest cheesemakers. The
resulting book is a splendid collection of photos and articles that
will make your mouth water.

From the publisher (University of Wisconsin Press):
"This book—beautifully photographed and engagingly written— introduces
hardworking, resourceful men and women who represent an artisanal
craft that has roots in Europe but has been a Wisconsin tradition
since the 1850s. Wisconsin produces more than six hundred varieties of
cheese, from massive wheels of cheddar and swiss to bricks of brick
and limburger to such specialties as crescenza-stracchino and
juustoleipa. These masters combine tradition, technology, artistry,
and years of dedicated learning—in a profession that depends on
fickle, living ingredients—to create the rich tastes and beautiful
presentation of their skillfully crafted products."
