Learn more about Georgia's award-winning cheesemakers who are producing a wide variety of farmstead cheeses. Creative Loafing has put together a helpful guide to the area's dairies as well as places to purchase or dine on cheese. You can make your next trip to the Peach State a cheese pilgrimage.

Fortunately, Georgia is not a place where everyone tends to jump on the same bandwagon. Gaddis points out the variety of different styles of cheeses being made by Georgia cheesemakers, "I'm happy to say there really isn't one single trend the local cheesemakers are following. Everyone seems to have their own style, which is nice for me because I can carry several of them without worrying if one will compete with the other. The best thing is these dairies are not just making average, run-of-the-mill cheese. They are producing some of the best in the nation. Just look at the result from this year's American Cheese Society."
