BIG NEWS

Attention turophiles!  In a massive coup, Zingerman's has been chosen as the destination for a rock star concert of the Cheese World!

Through the joint efforts of Neals Yard Dairy and our very own ZingTrain, many of the heavy hitters of the cheese world will be descending on Ann Arbor this week.  While here, they will be working to better understand some of the famous tenets of Zingerman's unique approach to business such as: open book finance, visioning, and the practice of organizational energy.  Of course, this may sound like a huge plug by a member of the payroll.  Believe me, if there is anyone that would find an excuse to plug their own company, it's me.  But, the proof is in the results.  Rather than read about it in a short article, each of these major players has decided to make the long trek to Michigan to spend time with our organizational experts in person, with many of them bringing a large amount of their staff.

They will be making appearances from Tuesday, March 6 to Friday, March 9.  And although they will be in closed session most days, I'm sure you may be able to run into them around town and/or at Zingerman's Deli.  But wait........there's more.

There is going to be a reception for all involved on Thursday, March 8 from 6:30 to 7:30 at Zingerman's Roadhouse.  Although it is an invitation-style event, I have been authorized to bring a guest or two.  How do you become my guest?  Simple:  sign up for the blog and post a comment that you'd like to come.  How's that?  Of course, you will need to enjoy good food, drink, and cheer.  James Beard award winning chef, Alex Young will be putting together some special treats featuring some of the cheeses made by the attendees.  So, who's coming you ask???  Well, here are the folks who are planning on attending:

And the Oscar nominees are:

Jasper Hill
DiBruno Brothers
Spring Brook Farms
Cowgirl Creamery
Uplands Dairy
Antonelli's Cheese
Neals Yard Dairy

Having met many of the attendees previously, I can assure you that it will be a great time!!!
