Tulip Tree Creamery

08/14/2026

A little rain won’t stop us from seeing you at the markets. Our farmers markets happen "rain or shine", so come on out, grab your favorite Tulip Tree cheeses, and say hello! The only exception is SEVERE weather or storms, when safety comes first and a market may be canceled or postponed.

Help Our Neighbors in Wayne County

This week’s storms have hit close to home for me personally.

Wayne County is where I was raised, in Hagerstown, Indiana. The community I grew up in has been hit incredibly hard by the recent storms and flooding, with more than 15 inches of rain reported in parts of the area in just 24 hours.

And Delaware County is also very special to me—I attended Ball State University in Muncie, so I have deep connections to both communities. Seeing the flooding and devastation in places that mean so much to me has been heartbreaking.

If you are able, please consider helping our friends, neighbors, and fellow Hoosiers who are dealing with the aftermath. Whether you donate, volunteer, share resources, or simply check in on someone you know, every little bit helps.

Ways to Help...

Wayne County Foundation — A local community foundation that supports organizations and emerging needs throughout Wayne County.
Donate to the Wayne County Foundation

Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana — Gleaners already has an established network of food assistance partners in Wayne County, including Hagerstown, Richmond, and surrounding communities.
Support Gleaners Food Bank

American Red Cross — Provides disaster relief and emergency assistance to communities affected by disasters.
Support American Red Cross Disaster Relief

If you’re able, please consider giving, sharing, or simply checking in on friends and family in the area. Every bit of support helps. I'll be heading east on Sunday helping where needed.

From our Tulip Tree family to our Wayne County neighbors: we’re thinking of you and pulling for you.

Cheese of the Month: Milkweed

This month, we’re celebrating Milkweed, our Alpine-style cheese inspired by the great mountain cheeses of France and Switzerland.

Milkweed is nutty, buttery, and wonderfully savory, with a smooth, firm texture that makes it incredibly versatile. It’s delicious on a cheese board, but it really shines when melted—think grilled cheese, fondue, burgers, or simply melted over vegetables. It's an AMAZING melter!

Whether you’re already a Milkweed fan or haven’t tried it yet, this is the month to put it on your list!

We'll be sampling it at the markets tomorrow so come and take a nibble.

New Classes Just Posted!

We’ve added two new cheesemaking classes to our schedule!

Cheese Pairing Class

Explore the delicious world of cheese pairings and learn how to create combinations that bring out the best in every cheese.

Mozzarella Stretching Class

Get hands-on with fresh mozzarella! You’ll learn the art of stretching mozzarella curd and leave with cheese you stretched yourself—plus plenty of ideas for enjoying it at home.

Both classes are now posted on our website, (https://www.tuliptreecreamery.com/classes/) so grab your spot before they fill up!

We’ll see you at the market, in class, or wherever good cheese brings us together.

Stay cheesy,
Laura & The Tulip Tree Creamery Team**

From New York to Louisville...and Home Again with Another Award!

Instead of our usual Friday newsletter, we thought we'd send you a special Monday edition because it's been an exciting—and very busy—couple of weeks here at Tulip Tree Creamery!

Over the past three weeks we've had the opportunity to represent Indiana and Tulip Tree Creamery at two of the biggest events in the specialty food world: the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City and the American Cheese Society Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.

These events give us the opportunity to introduce our cheeses to specialty retailers, distributors, chefs, and buyers from across the United States—and even around the world. We spent our days meeting with current customers, making new connections, sharing samples, and telling the story of Indiana artisan cheese. Every conversation helps bring more attention to what we're creating here in Indianapolis and opens doors for our cheeses to find new homes across the country.

American Cheese Society Conference

After New York (as reviewed in in the last newsletter), we headed to Louisville, Kentucky, for the American Cheese Society Conference—the largest annual gathering of artisan cheesemakers, retailers, distributors, cheesemongers, and cheese enthusiasts in North America. The conference is much more than an awards competition. It's an opportunity to learn from industry experts, discover new techniques, discuss emerging trends, and build relationships with people who are passionate about great cheese.

For Tulip Tree Creamery, attending the conference is an investment in our future. We spend time connecting with buyers and distributors, learning from some of the best cheesemakers in the world, and bringing new ideas home to improve what we do every day. It's also a chance to proudly represent Indiana on a national stage and showcase the quality and craftsmanship of the cheeses being made right here in the Hoosier State. Plus, we had a chance to tour Capriole Goat Cheese Farm in Greenville, Indiana.

Award #10 (Give or Take!) for Trillium

One of the highlights of the week is the annual Judging & Competition, where thousands of cheeses are evaluated by trained judges from across the industry. We're honored that our Trillium once again earned recognition this year, adding another award to its growing list of accolades and reminding us why we're so passionate about making exceptional cheese.

Trillium has become one of our signature cheeses, and it's incredibly rewarding to see it continue earning recognition from some of the country's most respected cheese judges.

The best part? You don't have to travel far to enjoy it. Trillium can be found at many local cheese counters throughout Indiana, as well as specialty cheese shops across the country. Of course, we'll also have plenty available at this week's farmers markets!

Congratulations to This Year's Best of Show Winners

One of our favorite parts of the American Cheese Society Conference is celebrating fellow cheesemakers whose work inspires all of us.

This year's Best of Show winners were:
Jasper Hill Farm (Greensboro, Vermont) for Winnimere — a seasonal bark-wrapped, washed-rind cheese made from raw winter cow's milk and wrapped in fragrant spruce bark. Winnimere is celebrated for its rich, spoonable texture and deep, woodsy flavor. It earned the top honor from more than 1,600 entries.
Blakesville Creamery (Port Washington, Wisconsin) for Artze — a sheep's milk cheese seasoned with traditional Piment d'Espelette peppers, creating a beautiful balance of buttery richness and gentle spice.
Urban Stead Cheese (Cincinnati, Ohio) for Nati Gouda — an old-world style Gouda made from Jersey cow's milk and aged 16–20 months, developing a rich flavor and delightful crunchy crystals.
Congratulations to all of this year's winners! We're honored to be among such an incredible community of artisan cheesemakers.

See You at the Farmers Markets!

We'll be back at all of our regular farmers markets this week with award-winning Trillium and plenty of your other Tulip Tree favorites.

Special Announcement!
We're excited to be heading to Yorktown, Indiana for the Friday evening market on:
Friday, July 17
Friday, July 24
Friday, August 21
Friday, August 28

If you have family or friends in Delaware County or the surrounding communities, we'd love your help!

Please share this newsletter with them and let them know we'll be bringing our award-winning cheeses to Yorktown. We'd love to meet some new cheese lovers while we're there!

Join Us at the Holy Cross Wine & Cheese Festival!

One of our favorite events of the year is almost here, and it just keeps getting bigger and better!

We're proud to once again be the official cheese sponsor of the Holy Cross Wine & Cheese Festival, where you'll find our cheeses featured throughout the event—including our popular Tulip Tree Creamery cheese boxes available for purchase.
This year, we're especially excited to be part of the Sommelier Experience, a one-hour guided tasting led by Indianapolis wine expert Jan Bugher of Jampagne All Day.

The Sommelier Experience
5:00–6:00 PM | Limited to just 30 guests
If you've ever wanted to learn how to truly taste and pair wine, this is the experience for you. Under Jan's expert guidance, you'll explore how to taste, appreciate, and pair wine with complementary foods while enjoying thoughtfully selected wine samples alongside a tasting box featuring cheeses from Tulip Tree Creamery and artisan meats from our friends at Smoking Goose.

I'll be joining Jan during the tasting to share the stories behind our cheeses, explain what makes each one unique, and talk about why certain cheeses pair so beautifully with different wines. It's always one of my favorite opportunities to connect with fellow cheese lovers, answer your questions, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making our award-winning cheeses.
Whether you're a complete beginner or already enjoy exploring wine, you'll leave with a new appreciation for pairing food and wine—and you'll have a lot of fun doing it!

There are only 30 seats available, so don't wait to reserve yours! This intimate experience is one of the highlights of the festival, and we'd love to see you there.
And while you're there, don't miss one of the festival's most entertaining traditions...

Thank you, as always, for supporting local cheesemaking. Every wheel we make, every market you visit, every cheese board you share, and every recommendation you make helps us continue doing what we love.
We can't wait to see you this week!

We’re Hiring for Farmers Markets

If you (or someone you know) enjoys talking to people, sampling delicious cheese, and being part of the happiest corner of a farmers market, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for folks who can work every weekend or every other weekend.

Perks include:
• A fun, upbeat market environment
• Finishing your workday around 2 p.m.
• And yes… the 50% off cheese perk is very real.

There’s something oddly satisfying about waking up early, working a lively market morning, and feeling like you’ve accomplished something before most people have finished brunch.

Check out the “Join Our Team” (https://www.tuliptreecreamery.com/about-us/join-our-team/) page on our website if you’re interested.
