5 Spoke Creamery's Victory Cheese Box

"VICTORY CHEESE BOX" from 5 Spoke Creamery <br> <br> The COVID-19 crisis is devastating the American cheese industry, from dairy farmers and cheesemakers to distributors, restaurants and cheese counters in the Hudson Valley and across the country. A grass-roots collection of cheese professionals banded together to find ways to help our struggling industry and the Victory Cheese Box was born! Like the Victory Garden movement of a by-gone era, the Victory Cheese Box is a call for citizens to step up and choose domestically produced cheese. In recognition of your support, we are donating 10% of all 5 Spoke Creamery Victory Cheese Box proceeds to local Hudson Valley food banks and food justice organizations -a win-win for us all.<br> <br> WHAT'S IN OUR VICTORY CHEESE BOX?
