The Southern Cheesemakers' Guild
Join Us!
The Guild is open to commercial cheesemakers in any "southern" state (our lines are a little loose). We also encourage membership of non-commercial cheesemakers who are seriously working toward a cheesemaking business, as our resources may be useful to you. By 'seriously' we mean in the process of building a facility, gathering equipment, working with inspectors, etc. Guild members within the range outlined by our map are invited to have a web page on this site. While there is no formal structure and currently no dues, a nominal annual fee is collected from all members with active web pages to support the web site hosting and maintenance. There is a one-time $100 setup fee charged for each new web page; the annual hosting and maintenance fee ($20-$25) is due every January thereafter.
Most communication takes place via our e-mail discussion group, SCGuild at Yahoogroups, which has a wider membership. The e-mail discussion group is open to similarly qualified cheesemakers outside the southeast, in order to facilitate dialogue between cheesemaking professionals everywhere. These "honorary" members are generally invited to our workshops but do not have a vote at meetings.
There are no meetings or workshops planned at the present time.
To join the e-mail discussion group, search SCGuild directly at Yahoogroups and submit a request to participate. List members are notified of events and meetings.
