I love Kenny’s so I would be ecstatic to eat lots of their cheese :-)
I would love to try another sample of Pine Street Market’s fare. It was delicious last year and we arrived a little too late to get the full experience.
Ah there are so many! I am obsessed with cheese straws so I’d love to try Delta Cheese Straws TN!
Noble Springs- bc I love anything goat cheese (goat cheese gnocchi, all day!) p.s. I liked the festival on the ole FB.
I already like Southern Artisan Cheese Fest on facebook! I’m excited about Porter Road Butcher because even though I live by the Charlotte location, I’ve never had any of their meats!!
I’m definitely interested in Boone Creek creamery and Pop’s Pickles. This festival sounds awesome.
I also tweeted you and liked the southern artisan cheese festival. Fingers crossed for the contest.
Give me all of the cheese but especially noble farms!
Love noble farms! I also liked the page.
I am looking forward to tasting the goodies from Smoking Goose Meatery cause I love cured meats, and let’s be honest, they have a really awesome name!
I am already a fan of the Southern Artisan Cheese Festival of FB.
Following on Twitter as well!
Look forward to trying Belle Chevre!

I’m most excited about Porter Road Butcher and Noble Springs Dairy! Yum!!
Followed on Twitter and tweeted.
I am excited to meet all of them honestly. Most of all I am excited to meet Boone creek creamery because of how they incorporate fruit and such as blackberries and blueberries into come of their cheeses. I think its ingenious and delicious all in one. They also have a cheese that have a small bite of coffee in it. I am very excited to meet all the cheese makers however. I once traveled to a cheese making factory in Amish country (Heines) in Ohio and tried close to 70 cheeses. =) I truly love cheese
They all sound amazing! Can’t wait to try Sequatchie Cove Creamery after reading about them.

I’m a huge fan of Belle Chevre, and have visited Looking Glass in Asheville, so I’ll be excited to connect with both of them again, as well as local purveyors of wine and beer, of COURSE! Love Yazoo.

Liked the Southern Artisan Cheese Festival on Facebook. Did you know I used to live in Switzerland, sold cheese at Hickory Farms, and am a member of the Cabot Cheese Board? My love affair with cheese has been lifelong!

Kenny’s cheese is always great!
I want to try White River Creamery’s cheeses – their name itself sounds delish!

I tried Roots + Branches crackers for the first time on the most AMAZING cheese board while on a trip to Asheville and I’m super excited to sample their awesome crackers. I picked this vendor because I am unable to pick my favorited cheesemaker because I’m equally excited to sample ALL the cheeses!
