A big change for Ricki Carroll, owner of New England Cheesemaking Supply Company. After 32 years on Main Street all shipping and receiving has been moved to Whately Road in South Deerfield. Ricki moved to Ashfield in 1975 and has run her mail order business selling supplies, ingredients and equipment to people who make cheese at home since 1978. She has been instrumental in the artisanal cheese movement in America, helping many small cheese makers get started.
The business has grown out of the Main Street home in part from recognition by Barbara Kingsolver in her book 'Animal Vegetable Miracle' and in part by the international status of it's web site www.cheesemaking.com.We are happy to report that all employees have made the move with us and are very happy in the larger space with attached warehouse.
We thank Dan Phelps for the use of his warehouse space in Ashfield. We owe our life to the crew at the Post Office who for 32 years have been generous and helpful in all types of weather, even when they had to pick up 5-6 times a day during the holiday season. And to Dan, our wonderful UPS man and many others who have generously helped support us over the years.
For those who will miss all the cars on Main Street, don't worry--we are still doing a few of our cheese making classes in the Spring and the Fall. You'll see the license plates from all over New England parked for a day now and then. Jamie and I are continuing to host some fabulous singing events and we will continue to see you around, working on the flowers when the snow is gone. So from all of our employees at New England Cheesemaking Supply Company, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
