Boosey Creek Cheese is also expanding. Nicole and Lisa have joined the otherwise extended family of staff. Lisa is looking forward to learning more about cheese-making in her assistant cheese-maker position. We are also expanding the number of markets, special events and locations where we sell our multi-award winning cheese. At the end of February, some of our cheese will be stocked at 10 Champion IGA stores across Geelong and Bendigo.

Upcoming Special Events (We are staying busy !!)

This coming week the RACV club (501 Bourke St Melbourne) is hosting a promotion of Murray River Produce. On Wednesday 17th February between 1030am – 230pm the products featured will be Boosey Creek Cheese and Monichino Wines. Come along and meet Don and Lisa then taste some award winning cheeses and wines. Our good friends at Monichino’s will help us match our cheese with their wines. All products will be available to taste and purchase on the day.

As part of the promotion of products produced along the Murray, there will be a special Farmer’s Market held in the forecourt of the RACV club (501 Bourke St, Melbourne) on Saturday 20th February from 1030am -330pm. Don & Ada will be there on the day and Bruce will pop in at the end to help (after doing one of our regular Farmer’s Markets at Wheeler’s Hill).
On Monday 22nd February Ken will be joining a busload of chefs and Moira Shire food producers as they travel to Melbourne. It will be an opportunity to network and sample various products for the chefs and the producers.

The weekend of the 27th and 28th of February will be another busy one for Boosey Creek Cheese. Don and Ada will be at the Champion’s IGA launch of our products as part of “Champion’s Fare” on the Saturday. The products that will be stocked are Tungamah Tasty (mature cheddar), Yarrawonga White (fetta), Boosey Blue (soft blue matured in wax) and Boosey Soft (camembert style). These four products now have barcodes as part of their store packaging. Ken will join his parents at the launch (Grovedale East Supa IGA store) after selling cheese at the Geelong Farmer’s Market in the morning.

On Sunday 28th of February Ken, Don and Ada are all off to Hanging Rock to sell our cheese at “The Age Harvest Picnic- Hanging Rock”. We will be sharing our site with Barfold Estate. So look out for the great combination of cheese, olives and wine !!
