Cows' milk cheese rising
Friday, January 2, 2009 at 02:11PM 
We're overjoyed that Wright Dairy of Alexandria is now producing cheddar cheese from local milk! Although Sweet Home Farm's award-winning farmstead cheeses are still very much worth the drive south, it's nice to know that Tria Market in Homewood now stocks this one. So while we continue to lament the closing of the Wright Dairy store on 280, we're glad that local markets are carrying their products, and thrilled to have more local hard cheese options.
Remember folks, we have to ask our grocers to carry these great local products. My new year's resolution is to get Wright Dairy milk in my local dairy aisle. I plan to badger all involved until it happens.
Happy eating.

This blog is BRILLIANT. If you publish this blog in book format I will buy several copies. I love it! Thanks for all you do!
You are so right that sometimes it just takes enough requests. The Foodlands in Florence and Killen here in the Shoals will try to get anything enough people ask for -- the managers want to sell want people want to buy!
