Christine Leonard is a sixth-generation dairy farmer on her family’s 150-year-old farm near Waconia, Minnesota. Their farm is also home to her cheese business, The Grater Good. While Leonard doesn’t make her own cheese (yet!), she does work with artisan producers in Minnesota and throughout the Midwest to create cheese platters, teach cheese education classes, and sell wedges at her micro cheese shop. She loves using cheese to tell the story of local agriculture.
