COVID-19 UPDATE, a message from Owner and Cheesemaker, Marie-Laure:
Dear Neighbor,
As a cheesemaker, third-party audited, inspected by the Town of Dudley, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, as well as the Food and Drug Administration, I can assure you that the cheeses I send to you are not only beautiful and delicious, they are safe. Since becoming a cheesemaker, my obsession with washing my hands has become... impressive. So when this Coronavirus came to light, I had never felt so prepared to face the challenge of heightened cleanliness. The cheese facility is near my home so I am the one prepping and packaging all of your cheese, having asked my two employees to take care of themselves by staying in their homes. I will continue to serve the needs of my neighbors, near and far, as long as you wish.
Thank you for your continued interest in supporting our business and eating our cheese.
Be well,
Marie-Laure
Old-world heart meets new-world innovation
Mission
At Couët Farm & Fromagerie we create unique, award-winning cheeses for your every meal. We believe that food should nourish your soul and that everything we do should support and empower our community. Our mission is to be a sustainable family business that creates beautiful, delicious, wholesome cheeses.
Background
Following several years of apprenticeships in Europe and a life-long love of cheese and agriculture, Marie-Laure Couët opened Couët Farm & Fromagerie. With the goal of supporting and feeding our community, we create small-batch, handmade cheeses with milk from single-source family dairies. We carefully select this milk for quality and yield and we pay fair prices in order to actively contribute to the strength of our regional economy.
We are a woman-owned and operated family cheesemaking company since 2015.
Sustainability
From biodegradable insulated shipping material, to sourcing our electricity from a community solar farm, to paper tasting spoons and Ovtene calcium carbonate cheese paper, we aim to have a small footprint and a positive impact on our planet.
