Colorado creameries Fruition Farms Dairy and Creamery, Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy and Avalanche Cheese Company took home prizes from the American Cheese Society's annual competition held last weekend in, of all places, Montreal, Canada.

Fruition Restaurant chef Alex Seidel is breaking the farm-to-table mold again. Seidel is poised to start production on his own 100 percent natural, antibiotic- and hormone-free, full sheep’s-milk cheese.
