Marc Freshman is the official cheesemonger for our 2016 Cheese Give-A-Whey which starts March 1st. Every time you place an order with us, you will be entered in a drawing for a pound of cave-aged cheese from Murray’s. Marc will be choosing the cheeses we give away and telling us why he chose them. Marc is right in the middle of the action at Murray’s.

Mustafa Hakkani
Making Cheese at a Sufi Community in the Catskills I was all set to write an article about Mustafa, a young Sufi (32) who wrote to us from his farm in the Catskills with a few questions about making cheese.
