Okay vegan friends… we got you a little something. 🧈🌱

Monty’s Plant-Based Butter has officially entered the EDEX chat and she is VERY welcome here.

Creamy, cultured, salty, spreadable… basically everything we want butter to be, minus the dairy.
Put her on warm bread. Melt her into something delicious. Give her a permanent little corner in your fridge. You know the drill. 😂

And because Cheese for All means making room at the table for everybody, we’re always on the hunt for really GOOD dairy-free finds that we’d happily eat ourselves.

Monty’s made the cut. 🫶🏾

Available in the shop this Friday, 12–6 PM on Main Street in Peabody.

Now the important question: what are you putting this on FIRST? 👀 we spread it over this Gf & vegan banana bread made by our bread angel Stephanie

75 people. A whole lotta cheese. And one VERY good Sunday. 🧀✨

Yesterday we had the pleasure of setting up this interactive grazing table for Dan Koh , and whew… she was SO fun to execute.

We wanted his guests to play with flavors. Build the ultimate salami + chorizo sammy. Pick whole fruits right off the graze while floating from room to room and getting into good conversations. And most importantly, we wanted people to try a cheese they thought they wouldn’t like and maybe walk away with a new favorite.
Low risk. High reward. 😂🧀

We built this spread to feed 75 guests with some of our favorite cheeses, charcuterie, fresh fruit, dips, breads, veggies, and all the little details that make a grazing table feel extra special.

Fun EDEX fact: Our very first grazing table EVER was actually for an elected official here in our city who was running a campaign at the time. (She won)

Since then, we’ve been shown so much love by folks running for office and working on campaigns who make a point of hiring and supporting local small businesses.

And we’re really grateful for that.
There’s something pretty special about meeting people who are passionate about making their communities better AND intentional about keeping some of those campaign dollars right here in the communities they hope to serve. 🫶🏾

As a small business, that kind of support matters. A lot.

We’re a little cheese shop in Peabody. We pack the car ourselves. We cut the cheese. We wash the fruit. We haul the boards. We fuss over the placement of every fig and sprig of rosemary 😂 and then we get to stand back and watch something we imagined come together.

Pretty cool.

Huge thanks to Dan for trusting EDEX Provisions to be part of the gathering, and congratulations again on your Primary win! 🥂

Now excuse us while we stare at these pictures for the next 3–5 business days. 😂

Planning a fall gathering, holiday party, wedding, corporate event, campaign event, or just a really good party?

We make grazing tables for that. 🧀

Slide 2/3 to see the vision. Slides 1/3 + 3/3 for the final result.

here’s your reminder from one small business owner standing next to 11 pounds of French butter:

We got this 😂💪🏾

Tell people what you sell.
Post it again.
Send the email.
Make the sign.
Ask for the sale.
Rest when you can.
And keep going.

Q4 might be a little chaotic, but baby… we’ve trained for this.

Wishing every small business owner a BUSY, profitable, sold-out holiday season. 🫶🏾

Now excuse me while I figure out how much butter is too much butter.

Spoiler: the limit does not exist. 🧈😂

*Grab some of this butter by the lb here in store every Friday. Also get ready for some jambon et beurre sandos

We are OBSESSED with our shop baguettes.

Like… finding reasons to make ourselves sandwiches 24/7 - obsessed. 🥖😂

And it’s time you meet the woman behind the bread! Steph Stephanie , aka our Bread Angel 👼🥖, has been part of the shop team for over a month now, quietly blessing us with these beautiful French-style baguettes every Friday. Pop in and say hi. 

And here’s the part we really love:
✨ 100% gluten-free
✨ Egg-free
✨ Vegan-friendly
Gluten-free + vegan friends, REJOICE. 🙌🏾
But also, if you’re not gluten-free, we still think this recipe is a BANGER. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and built for a really good sandwich.

Grab a baguette, pick one of our vegan cheeses from the case, add your favorite sandwich fixings, and BOOM 💥 you’ve got yourself a completely vegan cheese situation.

OR take your baguette over to our counter and let us melt some raclette over your choice of shop-cured meat. (Phil would recommend the guanciale 👀🧀)

Fresh baguettes are in the shop every Friday we’re open, but once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Come get this bread. Literally. 🥖🫶🏾

All my cheese friends to the front who love a unicorn 🦄

I first met this beauty while cheesemongering in Somerville. She originally offended some of my senses.

I didn’t love the cryo vac packaging that made a mess of my counter, the peppercorns threw me off, and I couldn’t get the image of the crushed herbs getting trapped in my teeth.

And then a customer ordered a pound of it 😱. My eyes almost popped out of my head.

Then I packed out slices for the grab-and-go fridge in clamshells. Came in the next day, and they were ALL gone 👀

What I failed to realize is that this cheese fills a gap. Think bright citrus, but savory cream.

Fleur verte is one of those cheeses that you purchase to sing alongside a killer cracker. It’s the solid background vocals to your favorite live band.

Tasty on its own but happily will play supporting actress with to favorite funky cracker.

Anywho. We’ll be selling Fleur verte on Friday, and if you haven’t tried , I’ll be scooping samples by the spoonful.

See you Friday, 12–6 PM on Main St. 🫶🏾

POV: your favorite shop team member is heading back to school but wants to show you his favorite retail products before he leaves.

Say hi to Burrito, my 8-year-old product tester, snack enthusiast, and occasional shop assistant.

Today he’s showing off a few of his favorite things in the shop. 🕺🏾

Cheese shop kid✌🏾

Which one of Burrito’s picks are you grabbing next Friday

We need to lock in Y’all!

Because if we don’t, we’re going to look around one day and wonder where all the magic went.

The little flower shop that remembers what you bought last time and when your wife’s birthday.

The bookstore with the handwritten recommendations.

The bakery making that thing you can’t get anywhere else.

The neighborhood brewery where the owner is also taking your order.

The fun creative shop that makes your town feel like your town.

Small businesses aren’t just cute additions to a community. They are part of the infrastructure of it.

📊 A few facts:

• 99.9% of businesses in the U.S. are small businesses. (SBA Advocacy)

• Small businesses employ 62.3 MILLION people, nearly 46% of private-sector workers. (SBA Advocacy)

• Small businesses are responsible for 43.5% of U.S. economic activity. (SBA Advocacy)

• From 1995–2024, small businesses created 61% of net new jobs in the United States. (SBA Advocacy)

• Studies of independent businesses have found that roughly 48% of purchases at local independents recirculate in the local economy, compared with less than 14% at chains. (Labovitz School of Business)

And here’s the part that doesn’t fit neatly into a statistic:

Small businesses sponsor the hockey teams.
We donate the gift card to the school fundraiser.
We know your name.
We hire your neighbor.
We collaborate with the shop down the street.
We take chances on ideas that would never make it through a corporate meeting.

And yes, sometimes we cost a few dollars more. Sometimes our hours are a little weird. Sometimes we sell out.

Because there isn’t a warehouse behind us with 40,000 more.

There’s usually just a person trying to build something meaningful and keep the lights on.

So this is your reminder: you don’t have to spend more. Just think about where you’re spending what you already spend.

🧀 Every cheese board doesn’t need the wildest, funkiest, or rarest cheeses to be unforgettable.

Sometimes what your guests appreciate most is a trusted classic, and Manchego is exactly that.

Nutty, buttery, and easy to love, it’s the kind of cheese that disappears first from the board.

That’s why you’ll sometimes find Manchego on our cheese and charcuterie platters. It pairs beautifully with so many flavors and gives everyone something familiar to reach for while they discover a few new favorites.

✨ Order Manchego by the pound to build your own board, or let us create a handcrafted cheese and charcuterie box or platter for your next gathering.

📲 Order online for local pickup or delivery, and let us help make hosting deliciously easy.

We’re still pinching ourselves.

This month, Eat Drink Explore Provisions is featured in the latest issue of Edible Boston, and honestly, if you had asked us three years ago where this little shop would be today, we never would have believed you.

Like many small business owners, we started with a dream, a whole lot of determination, and more uncertainty than certainty.

There were days that felt like giant leaps forward and days that felt like standing completely still.

What we’ve learned is that growth rarely follows a straight line. It’s often messy, unpredictable, and full of detours you never planned for.

Some opportunities arrive exactly when you expect them. Others show up after you’ve almost convinced yourself they’re never coming.
To our fellow entrepreneurs: keep going.

Keep showing up. Keep sending those emails, attending those events, and refining your craft. The road to growth isn’t always direct, but every small step matters more than you realize.

We’re incredibly grateful to our customers, community, family, and friends who have supported us along the way. Thank you for believing in us, even when we were still figuring it all out.

And thank you to Edible Boston for sharing our story. What an honor.

A week of Gratitude

Hey you,

I’m popping in real quick because Teacher Appreciation Week is here, and we’re still taking orders— but not for long.
If you’ve been thinking about doing something thoughtful (and delicious) for the teachers in your life, this is your sign. Our charcuterie boxes are the perfect way to say “I see you, I appreciate you” without overthinking it.
You can keep it easy with pickup, or let us handle delivery — either way, we've got you.
Heads up … we left orders open for the busy folks who need a little help in the gifting department, but they will close soon.
So don’t wait until the last minute and miss out.
Lock your order in now and let’s show these teachers some real love 💛
— Day
