CURD FEST!!! Cheese Lovers, are you ready?

After a quarantine-induced retooling of Curd Fest 2020, we're back, baby. Reactions are three at recent farmers markets or at the store:

  • We are coming to Curd Fest! (we like this one, best)

  • What's a Curd Fest? Where is Brooten?

  • We cannot make it this year, but have 2022 on our calendar already.

We hope to see you there, get your discounted tix by Thursday, or see you 11-6 on Saturday.

MSP Route this week - order by Monday, midnight as usual.

Curd Fest this Saturday

Curd Fest is here! The discounted presale tickets are available through Thursday for $12, otherwise are $15 at the gate. Children under 12 are free.

We’ve made plans for a new location for our tent and band, allowing more space for visiting the new vendors, and a view of the cows and the band simultaneously.

Gates open at 11:00 a.m. and we have two food trucks – South Meats North and Minnewaska House - Jupiter Moon ice cream truck, Milk Made cheese truck and our Redhead Creamery cheese van with refrigerated cheeses, cooler bags and ice for you to take home. We will serve Redhead Creamery supplied pan fried curds, cheese curd kabobs and cheese sundaes. We have Foxhole, Goat Ridge and Minnewaska House breweries, as well as Grandview Valley and Rolling Forks wineries. We’ll also be serving Milk + Honey Ciders excellent apple-derived drinks and Northern Soda Company refreshments.

Vendors include Lucky’s Mustard and Hot Sauce, Reality Roasters Coffee, Smude’s Sunflower oils and popcorn and Terroir Chocolate. The cheese shop, with samples, will also be open.

The Second Notion Band will be up first, followed by Timbre Junction.

Be sure to visit our Cow Camp Cow Crawl, which will allow you to get hands-on with a calf, lead you on a scavenger hunt, provide opportunity for calf photos and set you on your way for a self-guided farm tour. You can also help us raise money for the Western Stearns County Food Shelf.

We are looking forward to seeing you! Hundreds of tickets are already sold, VIP tickets are sold out, and we know our vendors and guests are ready to get back together, in the name of cheese!
