Show Notes

From their roots on a modest 40‑cow dairy in Wisconsin — America’s ‘Dairyland’ — the Crave brothers learned early that success in agriculture hinges on adaptability. Facing industry consolidation in the 1990s, they pivoted from commodity milk production to value-added cheese making, launching Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese in 2002. That bold move transformed their family business and set the stage for growth, today producing award-winning artisanal cheeses from a herd of over 2,000 cows.
