State #2: This week on Cutting the Curd Anne continues her state-by-state breakdown of cheese in the US with a look at Georgia cheese and Sweet Grass Dairy. Georgia is not the most "traditional" place to make cheese, but as we learn from the folks at Sweet Grass its a great place to raise happy goats, fight for your right to age cheese appropriately, and generally create positive cheese culture. This episode was sponsored by Edwards of Surry Virginia.
