If you never have been in a cheese factory and totally got the scope of what they do I would suggest one time in life that you do. We work really hard during the week and I just needed a little more bonding time with my son Spencer. In the Waukesha County real estate market it gets pretty hectic and when I have aWaukesha County real estate market Waukesha County real estate market moment I like to hang out with my little guy. When he got up this morning I mentioned to him that we should go for a ride and look at the country side and possibly go to Theresa, Wisconsin, which is home to Widmer's Cheese Cellars

Widmer's Cheese Factory Tour

 These folks make amazing cheese and as I drove I thought about the packages I am going to put together for some agent friends; friends that live in too much desert, agent friends that think their state makes good cheese, and unexpected friends that will just enjoy it. Lots of fields went by, many beautiful and glorious cows, rolling hills and meadows, Waukesha County real estate market streams and lakes; it was just what makes an afternoon with onesWaukesha County real estate market son that more enjoyable.

Widmer's still has the tours while making the cheese and I can tell you their brick cheese, cheddar, muenster cheese is superb, and my son Spencer has been eating cheese curds all day non stop; that leads me to believe they hit home and he gives his approval.

Widmer's has been in business for a long time and they are master cheesemakers. In fact, Wisconsin is the only state that has a master cheesemakers program required. The story of Widmer's Cheese begins over 80 years ago, finding a Waukesha County real estate agent?,Waukesha Real Estate,WaukeshaCounty Real Estate, homes for sale in Waukesha Countywhen our founder, John O. Widmer, left Switzerland to come to America. Dodge County Wisconsin was already one of the most famous cheese producing regions of the world, . As did manyfinding a Waukesha County real estate agent?,Waukesha Real Estate,WaukeshaCounty Real Estate, homes for sale in Waukesha CountySwiss immigrants, John O. Widmer became a cheese maker. John worked in various cheese factories as an apprentice before settling in Theresa Wisconsin in 1922. Widmer's Cheese Cellars offers a Wisconsin original, Wisconsin Brick cheese, a cheese of unsurpassed distinction. Methods for making cheese vary according to the type of cheese, but the basic manufacturing process for all cheese is essentially the same as the one we use to make Widmer Brick. The fresh, sweet milk is picked up at nearby farms and brought to the cheese factory via bulk truck.

Hi Tom-What a wonderful day you got to spend with your son. I lived about a half hour away from the Kraft Cheese plant in Lowville NY. I love muenster cheese and cheddar as well as mozarella. There is nothing quite like cheese curd when it is fresh and squeaky. It is wonderful. Hope you have been doing well. Thank you for adding me as a associate. I haven't been in the rain much since mid September due to a full time job in addition to my VA job. Just wanted to stop in and say HI and to say thank you. Have a great Sunday. <SMILE>

Tom,

It sounds like you and Spencer had a wonderful day together....here in Ontario we call those kinds of drives in the country side with stops at the cheese factories 'cheese runs'.

Great pictures and story. I didn't realize that so many Swiss people had settled in Wisconsin and had become cheese makers.

I caught the shot about states that don't know how to make cheese and personally I think talking about your own state that way is a little harsh. (LOL)

This is a great localism post, Tom.  I have taken a tour of a cheese factory ... it was great, and I, too, sampled (goat's) cheese all day.  I love cheese, but it doesn't love me. :)
