Our Cheesemaker
This spring Roger
welcomed Jennifer Betancourt to the cheeseroom. Jennifer grew
up in Edgecomb, Maine and was blessed with the opportunity to
learn the art of cheesemaking at the Squire Tarbox Inn on Westport
Island. She followed her passion for cheese to Cornell University
in Ithaca, NY. There Jennifer majored in Animal Science, taking
classes in microbiology and food science, as well as working to
make Cornell's NY State Cheddar. Jennifer married and returned
to Maine. She worked for a few years in nonagricultural jobs,
while her interest in cheese aged quietly, like an exquisite asiago.
Jennifer is thrilled to be back at the vat!
