Beehive Cheese Company
When you take a bite of Beehive Cheese, it melts like butter in your mouth -- that's because it's made from some of the creamiest and cleanest milk in Utah, lovingly crafted into specialty cheese by a family who shares a passion for the artisan way of life.
In 2005, brothers-in-law, Tim Welsh and Pat Ford, left the fast-paced world of software and real estate seeking a more simple way of life as artisan cheesemakers. They traded in their grinding traffic commute for quiet mornings sitting with 500 gallons of farm-fresh milk. They gave up briefcases and laptops for the romance of making hand-crafted cheese they can savor and share with neighbors and cheese-lovers all over. Tim and Pat wanted to bring back the local creamery, so with help from the agricultural school at Utah State University, they opened shop in 2005. Beehive Cheese is among only a few artisan cheesemakers in Utah.
Beehive's cheeses carry undertones of Utah's unique high-desert and four-season ecosystem. Tim and Pat use only first-class-grade whole milk from Jersey cows at Ogden's Wadeland South Dairy -- 350 acres near the salty marshes, ponds and mudflats of the mineral-loaded Great Salt Lake. The same nutrient-rich soil that feeds thousands of migrating birds, feeds the lush alfalfa that the cows love to eat.
The cheese is also full of the intelligence and imagination of the cheesemakers. Original and personal touches set Beehive Cheese apart. Beehive Cheese Co sits at the mouth of Weber Canyon in a valley between the forested Wasatch Mountains: home to world-class powder skiing in the winter and meadows of heavenly wildflowers in the summer. It's a modern cheese operation where old-world craftsmanship is perfected.
