About Us
A Wisconsin Farmstead Cheese Company Rooted in Tradition
At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, we’re more than just a cheese company — we’re a true Wisconsin farmstead cheese company built on family, tradition, and craftsmanship. We’ve been committed to doing things the right way: with fresh milk from our own herd, a deep respect for quality, and hands-on attention in every batch
From Cow to Curd – All in One Place
Unlike factory operations, our cheese is made right where the milk comes from — our multi-generational dairy farm, Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy, in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. This farm-to-creamery connection means fewer steps, more control, and exceptional freshness. Every squeaky cheese curd, creamy spread, and sharp cheddar block we sell starts with milk we know and trust.
Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese is currently owned and operated by Pagel Family Businesses but was started by Ron and Marilyn Renard in February of 1976.
In 2005, they sold their half of the business to their sons who operated Ron’s for the next nine years until the company was purchased by Pagel Family Businesses.
In 2015, Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese became a farmstead cheese operation by making cheese on Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy. The Pagel family continues to carry on the Renards’ legacy of innovation and dedication to wholesome products.
“When the farm was started our Dad’s love extended far beyond the dairy! He enjoyed cheese and felt our high-quality milk would make a delicious cheese product. We strive to ensure that the care we take with our farming practices reflects our commitment to the environment, our employees, our animals, and our community. The result is the freshest milk production possible which is the secret to our rich, creamy, preservative-free farmstead cheese. Healthy cows raised on the Ponderosa from birth allow for total quality control and traceability. We take pride in providing a premium product from our family to yours for generations to come.”
