After co-founder John Reese finished culinary school and decided to go into cheesemaking, he and his wife Anne unintentionally started their business, but there was a different product at the forefront. "We created a special fruit preserve for the cheese plate at our wedding," says Anne. "It was a hit, so we began selling the preserve at our local farmers' market, thinking the cheese wouldn't be far behind." After a few setbacks, the Reeses opened their first cheese and accompaniments shop in 2016. A year later, they started selling their own cheeses alongside their preserves. "Since we sell and produce our own artisanal cheese, we have a unique perspective to offer and educate our customers," Anne says. The Reeses trust that their commitment to quality and hospitality sets them apart from other shops. "We believe buying cheese should involve a conversation, a bit of history, a sensory experience, [and] a window into local or faraway cultures," Anne says. "We try to put some of this into every interaction we have with our guests." Black Radish Creamery From the Winter 2019 Issue
