Fieldgate Cheese Store Grand Opening

There’s been a lot of activity the past few months at the Fieldgate Cheese Store on West Depot Street in Litchfield, and the store will have a grand opening on July 6th. A ribbon-cutting will be held that day at 10 a.m.

Manager Melissa Tangen says the store will be open to customers beginning at 10 a.m. on July 6th and after that, the hours will be from 8-to-5:30 Monday through Friday and Saturday from 8-to-noon. She says the store will be dairy-centric and will mostly carry food items including cheese, milk, butter, eggs, brats, bacon, Cold Spring Bakery products and more.

Tangen says there has been lots of talk in recent years at First District Association about bringing the cheese store back. She says they’ve had feedback on their Facebook page from people who especially want to be able to purchase Fieldgate vegetable cheese, and they will have fresh cheese curds as well.

Tangen says there will be lots of new cheese flavors available at the Fieldgate Cheese Store in Litchfield. She says they will have Cheeseburger Days at the store on July 13th and 14th from 11-to-1 each day and proceeds will go to the Meeker County American Dairy Association and the Litchfield FFA Chapter.
