If you’re interested in local cheese and milk products and live in New Mexico, the NM Cheese Guild just makes sense! Together, we will work toward increasing access to fresh, nutritionally dense milk and cheese products through supporting small scale producers and educating consumers. This translates into more options and a healthier milk and cheese ecosystem in our state!

All NMCG members are invited to attend our cheesemaking workshops along with our Annual Meeting (hosted in early November). Principal and Associate members will have voting rights in all NMCG elections. As NMCG expands, we hope to offer micro-loans to member artisanal cheesemakers, small-scale dairies, and creameries who are committed to furthering the cheese industry in New Mexico. Check out our membership benefits page to find out more about in-person perks and benefits to joining!

All NMCG members are welcome to attend our educational workshops and events at either a reduced rate or with the fee waived. Many of these events will be recorded, and members will have access to our online archive of recorded events. Members will also receive our weekly blog posts and our monthly newsletter detailing upcoming events, applicable resources, current cheese news events, job opportunities, and more.

Our volunteer opportunities offer a unique blend of passion, purpose, and the savory world of artisanal cheese. Whether you're a cheese enthusiast, a community advocate, or someone looking to contribute to the thriving local food scene, we welcome you to be a part of our dedicated team. From organizing cheese festivals and educational events to supporting local cheesemakers, there's a role for everyone. Discover the joy of giving back while indulging your love for cheese — because making a difference has never tasted so good.
