  Wednesday Morning

Meet the “Gouda” Makers
Spouse/Guest Program
Wednesday | 10:15 - 11:45 am | Delta Hotel

Ready for a “gouda” story and some good “gouda” cheese?

This special spouse/guest program will have attendees cheering about the limitless possibilities for Dakota entrepreneurs.

Maartje and Casey Murphy, the founders of Cows & Co Creamery, share their delightful story of how their small homemade gelato company has grown to reach customers nationwide. Cows & Co was inspired by the feeling of enjoying a fresh scoop of gelato on the patio where Maartje is from in the Netherlands. She wanted to bring that piece of her homeland to North Dakota. Using fresh milk right from their quaint dairy farm outside of Carrington, Maartje and Casey create made-from-scratch artisan gouda cheese, cheese curds and gelato. Cows & Co is a fan favorite at Brewhalla! Enjoy farm-fresh samples.
