Founded in 2006, the Oregon Cheese Guild is dedicated to the art and craft of making cheese. The Guild is a collaborative effort to help cheesemakers network, create educational opportunities and benefit from participating in economies of scale. Membership is limited to farmstead, artisan and commercial cheesemakers.

Our mission is to promote recognition for Oregon Artisan Cheese Guild Members on a national and international level.

Our goal is to educate federal and state legislators and regulatory organizations on artisan cheese practices and production. The Oregon Cheese Guild is committed to growing its loyal base of artisan cheese lovers by educating consumers on high-quality handmade, farmstead and specialty cheeses.
