Did you know that American Cheese Society declared October American Cheese Month? It’s a true celebration of North America’s delicious and diverse cheeses and the farmers, cheesemakers, retailers, cheesemongers and chefs who bring them to your table. Throughout the month of October, Alon’s Bakery & Market will celebrate by highlighting featured cheese selections and the farms and creameries they’re brought to us from – all thoughtfully selected by our certified cheesemonger Mary Ingersoll.

Week #1: Enjoy cheese selections from Green Dirt Farm – a quaint Missouri sheep farm producing some incredible options and a new addition to our cheese case.

Week #2: We’re staying local with cheeses from Sweet Grass Dairy. Hailing from close by in Thomasville, Ga., these folks really know how to craft some delicious picks.

Week #3: We’ll feature products from The Cellars at Jasper Hill – explore a wide variety of Vermont cheeses, which have aged exclusively within these cellars.

Week #4: Another new addition to our market, we’ll end the month with Boxcarr Creamery – these North Carolina cheesemakers bring an assortment of cow and mixed milk cheeses to Alon’s.

We take pride in our cheese program, boasting more than 120 types of cheeses, and our commitment to supporting artisan cheesemakers. Join us as we recognize the quality and diversity of American cheeses!
