Short’s Brewing Company visits Boss Mouse!
It was great to see the crew from Short’s Brewing Company last week. They visited to record their latest podcast and write:
This week Bridgett Beckwith and Jon Wojtowicz bring us a little “farm to table” episode featuring local artisan, Sue Kurta and her business Boss Mouse Cheese, of Kingsley, MI.
We first meet up with Sue to pick up her milk in Traverse City at Moomers farm, where we talk to Jon Plummer. Sue gives us some insight on how important the relationship with your local farmer is and how it’s helped to grow her business.
We then head to Sue’s farm in Kingsley where we start the process of making a swiss cheese which is soaked for about 24 hours in a Good Humans brine. Bridgett and Woj get a lesson in everything cheese and a little insight into starting a business in Northern Michigan.
We would like to thank Sue Kurta and Jon Plummer for the opportunity to step into their worlds for a day and compare the process of making craft cheese to craft beer.
