National Goat Cheese Month is finally here, and honestly, it’s the perfect excuse to celebrate how incredibly versatile goat milk really is.

We love it all, whether you’re loyal to a super fresh, tangy chèvre, obsessed with gooey bloomy rinds, or prefer something firm and aged. There is just so much to explore.

What's your current go-to goat cheese? Tell us what you’re slicing into lately in the comments!

Congratulations to Kent Underwood, one of this year's ACS Meritorious Service Award recipients!

This honor shines a light on individuals whose dedication and advocacy have made our entire cheese community stronger.

From his nomination:
"We have known Kent for almost twenty years and through a number of lenses: first, as a fellow dairyman; then as a customer for our farm's milk; and finally, as a fellow cheesemaker. His kindness is apparent in every role, but nothing showcases his generosity of spirit like his participation in the cheese community. ​Have a question about a piece of equipment? Call Kent. ​Curious about a new packaging idea? Call Kent."

Thank you for your tireless dedication, Kent, and for always stepping up to solve the real, practical challenges that keep our industry moving forward. We appreciate you more than words can say. 💛
