  • And that’s a wrap! The Fancy Food Show 2024 is done and what a whirlwind 3 days it was 🇺🇸 🧀 We learned a lot this week- The top 3 things?: 1. Nail that 10 second elevator pitch. Who you are, What you’re selling, How it’s different. 2. A Kiwi accent in NYC sparked a lot of curiosity but did cause some confusion.  “SHIP CHEESE?” …we really had to try to hang on to those vowels 🤣🐑🚢 3. Pack your trainers! Standing on thinly-carpeted concrete floors for hours is hard on bones & muscles. Thanks for having us New York. Anyone have any other insights from the show? Or top trade show survival tips in general? #weFancy #FancyFoodsShow #tradeshowsurvivaltips

  • Start spreading the news!... We’re so pumped to be debuting our handcrafted grass-fed sheep cheese range at the @Summer Fancy Food Show 2024 in New York this week. 🇺🇸 🧀 If you’re at the show, swing by and say hi to Nick, Scottie and Andrea at booth no. 3516, downstairs in the Debut area. We have tasting samples of our grass-fed pecorino and all its dense, fruity-tangy-hints-of-hazelnut- goodness and our sheep milk Havarti which is dangerously moorish, mellow and buttery. Come and test your palate and see if you can detect our signature grass-fed herbaceous notes! We can even pop it on a cracker for you.
