I sell Amish cheese. No, I'm not Amish. Nor do I own a cow. I'm a distributor for Amish cheese that comes from Middlefield, Ohio. I kind of fell into the position, but it's a lot of fun, and I get to try a ton of varieties of cheese!
My last order was the largest I have ever had...67 pounds of cheese and butter!! The cheese is shipped in insulated containers via UPS, then I have to separate all the orders, input totals for the customers and arrange for pickup. Since the cheese is cut weekly, you don't actually have a final order total until it arrives. That's about as fresh as you can get it!
Here is all the cheese bagged up and ready to go.
Here is my extra fridge {so thankful for it!} that is stuffed full with cheese.
This is my spreadsheet I use to track the orders. {I really do love Excel.}
This cheese is a little more expensive than what you can buy in the grocery store, but there is absolutely no comparison, in my opinion. Plus, there are about 30 different varieties to try, just with a click of a mouse!
My kiddo loves this stuff! She won't touch processed cheese...when we go get a deli sandwich somewhere, I have to ask for cheddar, and she'll eat that. {Yes, I'm raising a cheese snob. So what?}
Two of my absolute favorite products are the salted butter...
...and the smoked cheddar cheese.
We also have curds. They're interesting. They taste just like a mild cheese, but they're squeaky.
Danish Blue Cheese. I personally can't stand blue cheese, but my customers tell me that it's the best there is. This is one of the few imported cheeses that isn't processed directly in Amish country. We also have Danish Harvarti and Guggisberg Swiss, to name a few.
We also have processed American, in yellow and white. Again, I don't care for processed cheese, but I'm told that it's great.
And, we have a great selection of organic cheese and goat's milk cheese. Again, {I sound really picky, don't I?} I don't care for the goat's milk cheese, but I have a customer who has a son with a dairy allergy. He can't have regular cheese, but loves the Goat Yogurt Cheese. He's almost 3, and is loving that he can finally have cheese!
If you're in my area and are interested in ordering cheese from me, here's how you can do it! First, send me your email address to be put on the reminder list. I order once a month, usually toward the middle of the month. You can order at anytime, and I'll just process it with the next order.
So...to order...go to www.simplycheese.net. {You can look around on the retail site for descriptions of all of the cheese varieties.}
Then click on the "Wholesale..." button on the top right of the screen. This will open a new window/tab with the wholesale order forms.
Choose either the Traditional or the Goat/Organic order forms. If you're wanting to make an order with both products, then you'll do two orders.
Fill out your information, selecting "Acworth, GA..." for the delivery location.
Then, make your cheese selections! There are 1/2 pound, 1 pound, and 5 pound options for most cheeses. Butter comes in 1 or 2 pound rolls.
Finally, click "Add to Cart" - yes, you get free shipping! {**in the summer months, when it's hot, they have to ship in special cartons, and this adds on an additional .20 per pound surcharge**}
Simple, right? And, oh so delicious! For information on when the next order is, shoot me an email, or leave a comment on this post.
