The Grater Good: Beautiful Food from People Who Care

Christine is a local dairy farmer with a passion for artisan cheese and the stories behind the food we eat. While she doesn’t make her own cheese (yet!), she works closely with the experts who do - sourcing products from makers who care deeply about the products they make, their animals, and the environment. Christine holds a degree in Food Science from University of Wisconsin-Stout and spent a year as an assistant cheesemaker before returning home as a 6th-generation dairy farmer alongside her family. Whether she’s creating a thoughtfully styled cheese board or leading a tasting class, her goal is simple: to help others experience what truly good food can be.
