wisconsin cheese: Widmers Cheese Factory. Wisconsin Cheese at it's best!!
- 09/01/14 01:11 AM
Off to Widmers to stock up on cheese and meet the Master Cheese Maker - Joe Widmer, Widmer's Cheese Cellars
Entering Widmer's Cheese Cellars in the tiny town of Theresa, Wis., is like stepping back in time.

Just a step down from a small retail area sits the "make room," its traditional open vats being carefully tended, curds being stirred or hand-scooped into forms, or the famous Widmer … (0 comments)

wisconsin cheese: The Cheese Factories in Waukesha County and America's Dairyland
- 06/27/09 10:48 AM
I have found memories of hanging out with my grandfather when I was young. Saturdays were a ritual; a trip to the dump so the guys could get together and chew the fat, a secret trip over to Dottie's bakery in Stonebank where my grandfather would pick up the donuts and then fly over to the Phillips 66 station in North Lake so he and his friends that had diabetes could eat their jelly donuts, and of course the cheese factory in Mapleton to get a half a brick of cheese. The Waukesha county cheese factoriesmay have diminished but those memories will last for … (14 comments)
