John and Anne Hoyt of Leelanau Cheese purchased the vacant Suttons Bay Bible Church on M-22 just south of Suttons Bay. The building will be the creamery's new home after renovations that will occur now through summer. The maker of raclette cheese and fromage blanc cheese spread is currently located on the grounds of Black Star Farms.
Congrats John and Anne. Getting back under your own roof is long overdue for the hardest working couple in the county that have defined the world's new model for how to make Raclette. I am thrilled for you. Does taking up residence in sanctified ground mean there will be a holier Swiss cheese coming? I look forward to the new round.
