Fall is the perfect time for visiting local creameries‘ cheeses—especially when it’s an auction item, and we have quite a few auctions on Shaw Island! Here are the “winners” for this year’s field trip:

Our adventures took us to Larry and Debbie Stap’s Twinbrook Creamery

and also to LIndsay Slevin’s Twin Sisters Creamery. Lindsay and Jeff are a wonder in what they’ve been able to accomplish in a handful of years—establish a real Whatcom blue cheese from Larry’s bulk tank milk (i.e., raw milk). What nutrition! What flavor! Lindsay’s a cheesemonger, to boot.
