Eat Well. Do Well.
That's been our mission since Day One. We source our products from folks who’re directly connected to real farmers. These are the people who work their lands with reverence, treat their animals with respect and mindfulness and employ their teams with humanity and sincerity. When you shop at Second Mouse Cheese, know you are spending your dollars in an ethical environment.
It has always been our business plan to “support the community that supports us,” but fulfilling that mission has not always been easy. We are a small, privately owned (seriously - there’s only Big Cheese here), brick’n’mortar with a big heart but not so enormous pockets. We have proudly contributed through thick and thin, high season, low season, pandemic and inflation and we are honored to be part of so many of our community’s agendas.
