    After the devastation of Helene, numerous Western North Carolina cheesemakers are struggling. Some have lost everything, others need major infrastructure repairs, and many have had to dump inventory due to loss of power. ⁠

    If you are interested in supporting these cheesemakers during their time of need, consider donating to the WNC Cheesemaker Helene Recovery Fundraiser. ⁠

    Your donation will go directly to cheesemakers in need as they rebuild and get back on their feet so they can continue to create award-winning cheese, offer visits to their farms, provide baby goat time, and more.⁠

    Those who benefit will be cheesemakers on the @WNCcheesetrail as a whole, with the group requesting specific needs internally as they arise. Check out @WNCcheesetrail story highlights for more info on where to donate to support North Carolina farmers and makers. ⁠
