The relationship
between ISU and Maytag Blue Cheese is
probably the best known of Iowa’s food
stories. But what most people probably do
not know is that the company made a decision
some years ago not to expand their herd;
instead, Maytag Dairy Farms opted to support
local dairy farms by purchasing their milk
and adding value to it by making what has
become an award winning internationally
known artisanal cheese. Maytag Dairy Farms
prides itself in being a business that truly
supports the “buy local” philosophy. They
have also found that their best advertising
is by word (and taste) of their blue
cheese.
