About Jamie Meyers:
Fueled by a lifelong passion for cheese and a desire to explore new avenues, Jamie Meyers transformed her career during the pandemic, becoming a skilled cheesemonger. Her dedication led her to compete in the prestigious Cheesemonger Invitational and participate in a transformative trip to Wisconsin's dairy farms, hosted by the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. These experiences solidified her commitment to sharing the intricate stories and artistry behind every cheese. At Di Bruno Bros., Jamie's expertise shines as she curates an exceptional selection of artisanal cheeses, meticulously chosen to tantalize the palates of discerning customers. With a passion for storytelling and a keen eye for quality, Jamie goes beyond mere cheese sales, transforming each interaction into a journey of discovery, weaving narratives about the origins, unique flavor profiles, and the dedicated artisans who bring these exceptional products to life.
*A portion of proceeds collected from March ticket sales will be donated to The Anne Saxelby's Legacy Fund which is a nonprofit dedicated to providing paid apprenticeships for young adults to live on sustainable farms—to work, learn and be inspired to create change in their communities. Anne was an American artisanal cheesemaker and a much-loved cheesemonger who worked tirelessly to bridge the gap between American cheese maker and consumer. Learn more atannsaxelbylegacyfund.org.
