Cheesemonger Tip
"Our dad, John Pagel, had a love for the farm that extended beyond the dairy,” shares Director of Culture Jamie Pagel Witcpalek. “He enjoyed cheese and felt our high-quality milk would make delicious cheeses.” Today, this third-generation family dairy farm produces two brands—Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese and Ponderosa Farmstead—of award-winning cheeses. Specialties include string cheese, mozzarella whips, cheese curds, flavored and aged cheddars, including Ron’s Wisconsin 2-Year Cheddar, which is sharper than the 1-Year Cheddar.
