Vermont Cheese Council's 2026 Artisan Cheesemakers Conference

Vermont Cheese Council invites you to our 2026 Artisan Cheesemakers Conference on Friday, May 1. 

Storytelling is the theme of this year’s conference, with in-person all-day programming. While content is specifically geared toward cheesemakers, it’s open to all: makers, mongers, chefs, retailers, industry folk, and food producers of all flavors!

How do we guide cheese from farm to plate? How do we share our story in a compelling way, across a range of audiences? How do we connect the dots between flavor and provenance?
