Nice To Meet You

Cheese can be magical. One of my earliest memories is sitting with my grandfather at his kitchen table while he would eat his cheese and crackers for lunch (which he had, every single day). Today, cheese plays an important role in our own home. With the chaos of two young boys and friends and family coming and going, cheese is a constant on our table. It has the power to bring people together, to incite conversation and to make us smile.

We are honored to be taking Plum Plums Cheese forward here in New Canaan. We look forward to meeting each of you and your families, and we are committed to continuing to bring the very best farmstead cheeses, hand-sliced meats and artisan gourmet products to fill your own kitchen tables.

Please stop in and say hello. We can’t wait to meet you.

Plum Plums Cheese Club

Whether you are an aspiring cheese aficionado or just looking for a great gift for a cheese loving friend, Plum Plums Cheese Club is a great way to be sure you always have a special cheese on your table to enjoy! More than a subscription box, the Club is a way to learn more about artisan and farmstead cheeses, get access to the latest and greatest at the shop and be an active part of the Plum Plums community.

The Details: Each month you will receive a selection of 3 artisan cheeses, highlighting a variety of countries, milks and styles, along with a bit of educational information for you to learn more about your cheeses and how they were made. Additionally, each month, you’ll also receive a few Plum Plums Pantry items to pair with your cheeses (usually new products we’ve recently brought in!).

Additional bonus! All active Cheese Club members receive 10% off in the shop and you’ll get early access to upcoming special events. You’ll also be the first to know about anything new coming in the shop that month.

Cheese Club Members can pick up their monthly goodies on the FIRST FRIDAY of every month.

$75/month, 3 month minimum commitment


CHeese Club FAQ:

What if I can’t make the pick up date (first Friday of the month)?

No problem! Just call the shop and let us know when you’d like to pick it up!

How long will the cheese stay good for?

If you can’t eat it right away, keep it wrapped in the cheese paper it comes in and in the crisper drawer in your fridge. Soft cheeses will be fine for up to 10 days and harder cheeses for several weeks.

What if I need to pause my membership?

Going out of town? No problem, we are happy to pause memberships while you are out of town, but any pre-paid memberships must be used in the calendar year.

I have a friend who would love this but they don’t live here. Do you ship the monthly cheese boxes?

If you are not located in town, we can! Due to the perishable nature of cheese, we ship overnight upon request. This does add an additional shipping fee to your order. Ask in the shop for more details.
