Nikole's dad's dairy farm · New Glarus, WIOur story
Wisconsin cheese, brought home to Bethlehem
Female founded in 2014, we bring handcrafted cheese from small Wisconsin creameries to Pennsylvania and to cheese lovers nationwide.
Formerly Keystone Farms Cheese. Same owner, same team, same Wisconsin cheese, just a shorter name.
How it started
It started with a suitcase full of cheese
Owner Nikole spent years traveling between Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to visit her father, a dairy farmer in New Glarus, and her grandmother. She always brought cheese home for family and friends, and she soon realized the taste, quality and unique flavors of Wisconsin cheese weren't available back home in Bethlehem, PA.
So she started Keystone Cheese. What began as a one-woman show is now a small team of captivating, extra cheesy ladies.
