Guilde Internationale des Fromagers shared Cowgirl Creamery's post.

As you may have heard, Peg & Sue have been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Cheese Society while at the 34th annual conference in Denver, Colorado! As part of an incredible community of cheesemakers, the Cowgirls are humbled and honored to accept this monumental award.

To tell it in their own words...

Peg: "We've been really lucky to be in this game. We're in an industry and part of an organization (ACS) that is so collaborative, so friendly, so knowledgeable, and so giving."

Sue: "At the first (ACS) meeting we went to 25 years ago, they talked about the purpose being to teach each other to make better cheese--and we're still doing that. The spirit of cooperation, sharing, and education has gone through to our guild in California to our community of cheesemakers and into our company. Two people can't accomplish what we've accomplished--there's been hundreds of people who have worked in our company with the same spirit of moving this American cheese movement forward."

AND THAT'S NOT ALL!

To top it off, our very own Pierce Point cheese won 2nd place for Flavored Soft-Ripened Cows Cheese at the ACS world-renowned cheese competition! With over 1,800 amazing cheeses being tasted by expert judges, we are overcome with gratitude for our community and are proud to be in company with the best of the best in American cheesemaking.
