Our Story
Rooted in Faith, Family, and Community
Here in Kingston, Wisconsin, our story begins with a way of life grounded in faith, family, and hard work. Our Amish community came to these rolling fields in 1978, carrying with us a deep respect for the land and the quiet traditions that guide our days.
Over the years, we’ve built a thriving community filled with small family farms, greenhouses, bakeries, furniture shops, and schools, all working together in the spirit of simplicity and shared purpose.
That same spirit is at the heart of Kingston Creamery.
The Beginning of Kingston Creamery
When the local creameries closed, our farmers faced a choice: let our heritage fade, or find a way to preserve it. We chose the latter. Together, we formed a cooperative to continue the craft of cheesemaking that had been part of our lives for generations.
For many years, we operated under the name Salemville Cheese, allowing us to keep producing the cheeses we loved while adapting to new challenges. By 2019, our Co-op had grown to include over 60 patron farms, bringing in more than 25,000 pounds of fresh milk every day.
During the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a major step forward, we purchased the creamery ourselves and became Kingston Creamery. That moment marked more than a change in name; it was the continuation of our story, our values, and our promise to keep making honest, handcrafted cheeses the right way.
Crafting Tradition for Today
While our methods are simple and our tools humble, we know that sharing our cheeses with the world requires a bridge between our traditions and today’s technology. That’s why, in 2025, we partnered with QOC Innovations.
Through this partnership, we’re able to reach customers beyond our countryside while staying true to who we are. QOC helps us manage our online presence and sales, allowing us to focus on what we do best, which is making exceptional cheeses by hand, using sustainable practices passed down through generations.
Together, we’re honoring our past while embracing the opportunities of the present and always guided by the same care, respect, and craftsmanship that define Kingston Creamery.
A Taste of Kingston
Every cheese we make tells a story of small herds, early mornings, and the quiet pride that comes from doing things the right way.
From our farms to your table, each bite carries the flavor of simple living, honest work, and a community devoted to quality.
At Kingston Creamery, we believe the best things are still made by hand and meant to be shared.
