Stars above!! I was settling down in the pasture yester eve, and it occurred to me that some of you might not be familiar with Rogue Creamery and what we do...my sincere apologies!
My boys David Gremmels and Cary Bryant purchased Rogue Creamery in 2002 with a handshake on the porch of a cottage from the very Godfather of Cheese himself, Ig Vella! The idea was that the plant would stay open and Rogue Creamery would remain a contributing partner in the community as it was currently.
Rogue Creamery's mission is: "An artisan cheese company, with people dedicated to service, sustainability and the art and tradition of making the world's finest handmade cheese." A very fine statement if I do say so myself! With over 9 varieties of Blues and multiple cheddar's and American classic TouVelle's the cheese lover can find nearly anything they desire at our Cheese Shop on N. Front St.
What's most exciting to me about Rogue Creamery, is the presence we have in the world market, not to mention sustainability initiatives (something unheard of in my younger days!). Last winter we started shipping our pasteurized Flora Nelle Blue to Australia, and in the fall of 2011 we will start distributing to some Asian cities. Also in December 2010 we installed a solar array system the LARGEST in Central Point!! I can only imagine where we will be in 10 years! Course then I'll be even older and wiser ;)
If you have any questions about Rogue Creamery or wish to hear more fun facts please just ask! I would love to answer them! That's the purpose of my blog after all!
