Cheesemaking Assistant

Uplands Cheese is a family-run dairy farm and cheesemaking operation in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. From May through November, we rotationally graze 150 cows and make two cheeses: Pleasant Ridge Reserve and Rush Creek Reserve. Learn more about our farm and our cheeses at uplandscheese.com

We are adding several members to our cheesemaking team for the upcoming Rush Creek Reserve season, from September through November.  This seasonal position also has the potential to extend into a full-time, year-round role.

Experience is not necessary, but enthusiasm for physical work in a detail-oriented environment is a must. We work closely together, hold each other to high standards and have a good time doing it. This is an excellent opportunity for a cheesemonger or someone interested in cheesemaking to gain experience with a small, professional and supportive family business. 

Expect to work 35-45 hours a week, over the course of 5 days, and to be paid $20-30/hr, depending on experience. We will help employees find rental housing near the farm, and a car is necessary for transportation in our rural area.
