FREE Bonus Gourmet Item with Every Subscription Order (avg $10 value)
March's Meet the Makers Quarterly Subscription Box highlights one of our favorite small, farmstead cheesemakers from the Northeast. The best part? You get the chance to meet the cheesemaker live on Zoom!
March's box features four different raw milk farmstead cheeses from Cato Corner Farm in Colchester, CT: their dense American original inspired by cheddar and Manchego, Aged Bloomsday, their meltable Alpine-style Dairyere, their gorgeous lactic, creamy bloomy rind Celeste, and their fudgy natural rind Black Ledge Blue. Beth MacAlister and her son Mark Gillman run Cato Corner Farm in Colchester, CT, with Beth looking after the cows and Mark overseeing cheesemaking. They have been in business together for over twenty years, perfecting their herd through careful breeding for healthy cows and high-quality milk.
The live Zoom date and time is TBD, but will take place at the end of the March box shipping week. A Zoom link invitation will be emailed post-purchase and a recording will be emailed to everyone post-event.
Place your order by Sunday, March 8th. The March box will ship Tuesday, March 10th.
*A Zoom invitation link will be emailed post-purchase and a recording will be emailed to everyone in case you aren't able to make the live event.
FAQ
How does the quarterly subscription work?
Subscribe to receive a new selection of cheeses from one maker, four times a year. You'll be able to cancel, pause, skip, or modify within 48 hours of the shipment of your upcoming order. For prepaid subscriptions, you are able to cancel after the prepaid duration.
Once you are signed up, you'll receive an email giving you access to your unique subscription portal, so you can review all your shipping and billing information and your next order date.
What is fantastic about our quarterly cheese subscription is you get the unique opportunity to Meet the Maker live on Zoom. A recording will be emailed for those who cannot attend.
What is the quarterly shipping schedule?
Since our quarterly program highlights one maker per shipment, and is accompanied by a live Zoom event, we have a fixed schedule for all shipments. Upon request (given 48 hours notice), we can delay a box's delivery, or we can skip a shipment that doesn't work with your schedule (which means your fourth shipment will be the following quarter). The current shipping schedule is:
1. November 18th, 2025
2. December 15th, 2025
3. March 10th, 2026
4. June 16th, 2026
Live Zoom dates are finalized closer to the shipping date, at the discretion of the cheesemaker. Cheesemakers are busy so we work around them! :-)
How does the gift subscription work?
Our Gift "Meet the Makers" Quarterly Subscription is the perfect way to gift a year of cheese. No pricing is ever included, and the gift subscription expires after the prepaid duration. By providing the recipient's name and email in the product form, we'll be able to invite them to upcoming live Zoom events, and notify them of upcoming orders. Gift subscriptions ship on the fixed schedule of the quarterly program, unless otherwise requested. This fixed schedule can be found on the respective product pages. Post-purchase you will also receive an email with a digital gift card and an outline of that shipping schedule. Please let the gift recipient know when they will receive their first box as it is necessary for someone to be there to receive it.
Our first point of contact with the recipient is their first box delivery. They will receive upcoming order emails from us on the second order onward, so they can better manage their subscription without your assistance.
How is the cheese packaged for freshness?
We take great care in ensuring your cheese arrives fresh and flavorful. Each cheese box is expertly packed with temperature-controlling insulation and ice packs to maintain the perfect conditions during shipping. Additionally, we use sustainable and breathable cheese paper to help your cheeses age naturally while preserving their taste and texture. Cheese is shipped to arrive within 1 to 3 days to preserve quality and integrity.
