An exploratory meeting has been set up to examine the possibility of forming the Western North Carolina Cheese Trail.

The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on Feb. 29 in the commerce boardroom located on the second floor of the Asheville Chamber Building on Montford Avenue. The primary purpose of the meeting is to bring together licensed cheese-making operations in Western North Carolina to discuss the concept and gauge the interest in forming of this new entity.

There are about 15 licensed farmstead and artisanal cheese-making operations in Western North Carolina. Retailers, enthusiasts, and future cheese-makers are welcome to attend and contribute their ideas.

Attendees are asked to RSVP.
