Cheesemaking Day at the Imobersteg Cheese Factory is once again be-
hind us. We had great weather and attendance was very good. There was a mix-
ture of active, retired and just plain tired cheesemakers present who were willing
to convey their wisdom throughout the Cheesemaking process.
We had visitors from the area and all parts of the country observing,
helping stir the kettle and asking questions about the process. It is important to
keep this tradition of making a wheel of Swiss cheese the way it was done at the
turn of the century alive for future generations to experience. This type of old
time Cheesemaking can also be seen at Harvest Fest in New Glarus every Octo-
ber and during Cheese Days in Monroe held the 3rd weekend in September dur-
ing even years.
I hope you can all join us this year.
The 19th Century cheese factory at NHCC is completely different from
what I experienced yesterday. I attended a donor luncheon, along with the
WCMA Board of Directors, to kick off the dairy plant renovation at UW River
Falls.
WCMA has been very active in supporting education for the cheese and
dairy industry. This includes donations to this project at UW River Falls, the
Center for Dairy Research at UW Madison, the dairy plant at South Dakota
State University and others. The UWRF dairy plant was completely disassem-
bled and only a few of the old pieces of equipment will be reused. The total
space will be about three times the size of the existing plant. When it is com-
pleted in early 2019 it will be a state of the art facility on a campus where a very

What a tremendous delight to be “back in business”! It is wonderful to once again receive visitors
in the Welcome Center, and to watch the volunteers’ reaction to the updated space.
May is flying by! The fundraising trailer, commonly known in the area as the “cream puff
trailer” is at the Farmer’s Market on Monroe’s Historic Square most Saturdays, May through Oc-
tober. The trailer is staffed at the square by local Boy Scout Troop 180.
The trailer will be at many events during the season, from the Green County “Pickers”
Antique & Flea Market at the fairgrounds in June and September, to Cheesemaking Day in June
in the Imobersteg factory on the National Historic Cheesemaking Center campus, and Monroe’s 4th of July cele-
bration at Twining Park, with Green County Cheese Days as the finale in September.
I am learning much about managing the work of the trailer and the supplies needed, with much assistance
and patience by Dave and Glenda Buholzer, and Jeff Everson of Troop 180. The National Historic Cheesemaking
Center and I value all of our volunteers but especially those who say “yes” to staffing the grill, trailer, and cashier
table. It is a pleasure to be part of the teamwork and expertise that goes into our Homemade Cream Puffs and
