This week Cutting The Curd sees another installment of its State of Cheese series and this time hosts Anne Saxelby and Sophie Slesinger are off to the Sooner State, a.k.a. Oklahoma. First they chat with Suzy Thompson and Steve Reynolds of Forward Foods about how they are bringing the gospel of good cheese and local dairy to the communities of Norman and Oklahoma City and how social media fits into their mission. Later on Matthew Burch of Oklahoma's Urban Agrarian tells us about his unique position in his state's food world as a local food distributor. Go behind the scenes and learn everything from how he uses bio diesel to run his delivery truck to how he plans his routes. This episode is sponsored by Fairway Market.

--Suzy Thompson on Cutting The Curd
"I didn't come in with a PhD. in local food distribution just a passion."
