Company description

The Concord Cheese Shop is a small 58 year old business, tucked away in cozy Concord MA.   We are committed to working with local farmers who are grower-producers, combing traditional back-to-land methods with technology dedicated to creating a harmonious balance between nature and the technology that allows them to produce their food.  We believe in carrying products crafted by local artisans and cheese mongers who share in our commitment to prioritize environmental, and socioeconomic considerations into their day to day operations.  We care and are conscious of the environmental footprint of cheese; to that end, we work specifically with Cheese Mongers who focus on reducing the environmental impact of farming and care for the creatures who produce dairy products.
