Stay tuned for invitations to cheesy (in a good way!) events from coast-to-coast; important collaborations with our partners; updates from our Apprentices; news from chefs; and more!
February Update
Anne once wrote “Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so if I can stretch it out a bit and have two (or even two and a half), I’m all for it.” Anne woke up early and packed every moment with accomplishment — joyfully filling the days for three kids, exercising, cooking creatively (with the varied scraps going to the worms in her three-story compost bin), reading, writing, drawing paintings which hang on the walls of our home, and running the sales, marketing, and farm relations for her pioneering American cheese business — all the while a perfect neighbor, attentive, elegant, and gracious.

January Update
Since Anne passed, we are always on the lookout for signs of her — and we see her a lot, like when it snows on Christmas, or when a bee lands on our hand, or when we find the perfect parking spot right in front of our building. Basically, we feel Anne’s presence when we are lucky, and when good things happen to us. These moments give us all great joy!

Introducing the Anne Saxelby Fund
November 9, 2021
It is with great sorrow that we write you this note because Anne is no longer with us. We all adored Anne, her playful whimsical radiant energy, grace, unpretentiousness, and love she gave to everyone she crossed paths with. From her tiny shop at Essex Market her smile and hard work changed the way Americans buy food. She was a remarkable entrepreneur, colleague, neighbor, friend, mother, wife, sister, and daughter who realized in only 40 years many lifetimes of accomplishments. She is missed every single day and we will forever ache that she left us so soon.
