American Cheese Month is a nationwide celebration brought to us by the American Cheese Society. Check out their website for more events from coast to coast and follow American Cheese Month on Facebook to hear about what's happening throughout October.

In addition to spreading the word on American artisan cheese, American Cheese Month is a fundraiser for the American Cheese Education Foundation. You can find out more information on their website or in our stores. You can support the ACE Foundation at several of the events listed above or by stopping into our stores where you'll find donation jars.
