So, who is Lucy? About us and where you can find us…
Lucy’s Whey offers a large, carefully chosen selection of artisan and farmstead cheeses, all made in the United States. Each cheese is unique and presents distinctive flavors that reflect the region and ingenuity of the cheesemaker. In addition to cheese, we carry a variety of complementary foods. Jams, marmalades, mustards, chutneys, pickles, honeys, crackers, and dried fruits have been carefully selected from small producers across the United States.
The mission of Lucy’s Whey is to showcase quality American cheeses, support the craftspeople and farms who make and grow good food, and educate the public about artisan cheeses.
The cheesemongers at Lucy’s Whey have worked on farms, made cheese, worked behind the cheese counter, taught classes and take pride in introducing new products and their makers to the general public and sharing the stories of these committed farmers and artisans.
Visits to cheesemakers on their farms is what we love most at Lucy’s Whey. Here, we meet them personally, learn about their operations and their dreams, share the excitement of tasting a new cheese, and discuss with them the subtleties, successes, and challenges of cheesemaking.
Lucy Kazickas, proprietor, opened the original Lucy’s Whey in East Hampton, NY in 2008. Her passion for cheese, good food and hospitality is apparent and in the fall of 2009 she was invited to open a store in Chelsea Market.
