HONESDALE, PA — Calkins Creamery announces two first place awards at the 2023 Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg this January. Cheesemakers across Pennsylvania submitted products for review by an expert judging panel. 

Georgic, a fresh pasteurized Quark-style cheese garnered first place in the soft cheese category. Capturing first in the flavored, cheddar style cheese category was Garlic + Chive Curds, one of the Creamery’s popular fresh pasteurized curd product line. Calkins Creamery cheesemaker, James Regelsky, accepted the awards at the Farm Show Complex ceremony.

“We’re excited to receive this recognition at a state competition,” said Calkins Creamery owner and cheesemaker, Emily Montgomery. “Our customers love our Georgic spreads and cheese curds, and it's rewarding to learn that the Farm Show judges gave these cheeses high marks for body, texture and taste too.”
