Exciting News: Authentic Wisconsin Cheeses Now at Mini Barn Market!​
​
Hello, friends and fellow food lovers, Cory here! I'm thrilled to share a piece of my heart with you all. As a proud Wisconsin native, I've always dreamed of bridging the gap between my Midwestern roots and our vibrant West Coast community. That dream comes alive with the arrival of genuine Wisconsin cheeses straight from the heartland!
​
For over 75 years, the Gardner family has been crafting cheeses that capture the soul of Wisconsin's dairy heritage. These aren't just any cheeses—they're the real deal, embodying the timeless tradition of family recipes passed down through generations. Picture this: a warm summer day, cruising through Wisconsin's lush green hills and valleys, where every stop is a treasure trove of unique, locally made cheeses. That's the magic this cheese brings to life, and now, we're proud to carry these gems at Mini Barn Market.
​
And here's the star of the show: our super rare (in California, at least!) and utterly authentic squeaky cheese curds! Fresh, fun, and famously "squeaky" when you bite into them, these curds are a Wisconsin staple that's hard to find out here on the coast. Whether you're snacking on them straight from the bag, melting them into poutine, or adding them to your charcuterie board, they'll transport you to those idyllic dairy farms with every delightful squeak.
​
At Mini Barn Market, we're all about celebrating fresh, local(ish) flavors that tell a story. These Wisconsin cheeses pair perfectly with our ranch-fresh produce, artisanal jams, and other farmstand favorites. Swing by Mini Barn Market today to grab a taste of the Midwest—because who says you can't have the best of both worlds?
​
Our all-natural, Gardner's hard and semi-hard cheeses do not actually require refrigeration for safety, but we recommend storing them in the refrigerator on arrival to best protect their flavor/texture and extend their lifespan. Remember, cheese was invented and enjoyed 1000's of years before refrigeration, around 5500 BCE.
