    🐄 Celebrating June Dairy Month at the Farm

    At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, we spent the month doing what we do best: making fresh, handcrafted cheese right here on our family farm in Kewaunee. Here’s a look back at how we celebrated June Dairy Month (and how we carry that spirit all year long).

    🧀 Farmstead Cheese, Made Fresh Daily

    All month long, our team crafted batches of fresh cheese curds, Snow Cheddar, mozzarella whips, and more — using milk from our very own herd.

    Dairy Month is a reminder that real cheese starts with real farms. No shortcuts. No outsourcing. Just good milk, happy cows, and generations of know-how.

    📸 Behind-the-Scenes Moments

    We shared a few sneak peeks on Facebook and Instagram — from stirring curds in the vat to packaging squeaky-fresh bags for delivery. Thank you to everyone who liked, commented, and tagged us in your own cheese celebrations!

    We even chatted with our friends at We Are Green Bay. See the video here.

  • 🧀 5 Things to Know About Our Cheddar Cheese Curds

    🧀 5 Things to Know About Our Cheddar Cheese Curds

    There’s something special about Wisconsin cheddar cheese curds — especially the kind that squeak. At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, curds aren’t just a product. They’re a tradition. They’re a snack. They’re a way of life.

    Whether you’re new to cheese curds or you’ve been buying them from our shop since 1976, here are five things to know about the squeaky favorites we’re proud to call our best-sellers.

    1. They’re Made Fresh on the Farm

    Our cheddar cheese curds are made right here in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, using milk from our own herd. That means they go from cow to curd faster — and fresher — than most cheese ever will. Freshness isn’t just a claim, it’s part of our process.

    2. The Squeak Is Real (And It Matters)

    That signature squeak? It means your curds are ultra-fresh. The squeak happens when the protein structure in the cheese is still intact and bounces against your teeth. The fresher the curd, the louder the squeak. If you know, you know.

    3. We Offer Multiple Flavors

    While our original cheddar curds are the classic choice, we also make crowd favorites like:

    Each batch is handcrafted and vacuum-sealed to lock in flavor and keep that squeak going.

    4. Perfect for Snacking, Sharing, and Frying

    Our curds are a go-to snack, a game day favorite, and the star of many Wisconsin-style fried cheese baskets. Enjoy them straight from the bag, pack them in lunchboxes, or fry them up for an unbeatable treat.

    5. Shipped Fresh. Always.

    Not near Luxemburg? No problem. We ship our cheese curds nationwide, vacuum-sealed and cold-packed so you get farm-fresh squeak delivered to your door.

    Ready to Try Them?

    If you’ve never had a fresh cheddar curd before — or if you’re overdue for a restock — we’ve got a bag (or three) with your name on it.
