    "mobile" and "cheese-maker" seem like mutually exclusive terms. I see an unsustainable business model. Our relatively small regional creamery gets
    its milk from local dairies, and produces a number of cheeses, each
    requiring a different recipe. They sell their product in their own store,
    as well as several local shops, and also by mail-order.

    Yep - lots of that here, too. But our milk-marketing system
    restricts the free-trade of raw milk - so the price goes up - dramatically ! The small local speciality cheese makers
    still have a market - but at-a-price ...

    Great cheese - but quite pricey.
