F
or almost 20 years, longtime friends Amy
Burritt and Cheri Intveld had dreams
of starting a business together before
stumbling upon the idea of a cheese shop in
the summer of 2020. And since opening their
doors in February 2021, there's been no turning
back. "We've had an absolutely phenomenal
response," Burritt says. "The entire community
has basically been rallying to say, 'We are so
excited that you're here. We've been waiting
for you.'" The shop is stocked with almost 100
local, regional, and international cheeses, plus
plenty of accoutrements and beers to pair
them with. "We're kind of addicted to finding
everything we can and having as much here
as we can manage," she says. The women have
been through a lot together, all of which Burritt
says prepared them for this new challenge. "I
had breast cancer last year. And Cheri was just
diagnosed with it this past week," she says. "As
a new business, we're trying to navigate how
to support her while keeping the business alive
and thriving and growing, because it's still so
new. But as longtime friends, I don't worry about
how we'll work it all out. I know it'll happen, and
I know the community that's already starting to
form at our shop will be there to support us.
