The Cheese Network is a shared digital platform for cheesemakers, cheesemongers, educators, suppliers and others working across the cheese sector.
Our aim is to make useful knowledge, tools, campaigns, technology and support easier to access and easier to share.
Why we exist
Cheese businesses are busy.
Websites, email, ecommerce, marketing, technology, data and AI all create opportunities, but they also create more things to understand, manage and pay for.
Our aim is to reduce some of that duplication.
Useful campaign ideas can be shared. Website checklists can be shared. AI workflows, templates, research and practical lessons can be shared.
You can then adapt them around your own products, customers, location, knowledge and personality.
Built specifically for cheese
This is not generic business advice with cheese added afterwards.
The Network is being built around the real needs of cheesemakers, mongers, educators and other people working with cheese.
That means learning from the questions people ask, the problems they encounter and the things that are already working across the sector.
Built together, improved over time
We do not expect to get everything right first time.
Members and the wider Community can ask questions, share experience, test ideas and tell us what is useful, confusing or missing.
That feedback helps us improve the resources, tools, Campaigns and support we create.
Independent, but shaped by the sector
The Cheese Network is an independent UK business.
It has clear responsibility for its operation and delivery, while members, partners and people from across the cheese sector can help shape priorities through feedback, the Community, Missions, Working Groups and other forms of participation.
