Help Bring Cheese to the People!

Donation protected

Do you love cheese?

Has your love of cheese led you to explore the wonderful world of Fromage, or are you eating block cheddar from the grocery store?

I get it. Life has been madness, especially over the last year and a half. What if though, you could order a curated cheese board for your business or at home from a local retailer through your phone and have it delivered in 48 hours? What if you could have wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverage pairings with the cheese, and order those beverages alongside your board? What if you could set up virtual cooking classes and tastings to highlight the cheeses you receive on your board? What if I could deliver Cheese to the People to you?

What is Cheese to the People? It's the business I've been working on over the last 3 years. The whole concept is to use technology to help you enjoy, learn and just have fun  with cheese! How do we do that? Well, through The Board Builder Application. This smartphone application will be where Users will have a cheese board created just for them, with any dietary needs taken into consideration, and have it delivered. The boards will be made from local, independent cheese shops, and delivered through a family-owned courier service. Don't want to pay for the courier? No problem, Users can go pick up their boards at the retailer.

Plus, what goes with cheese better than a beverage? The Board Builder provides pairings courtesy of me. I'm Kristin by the way and I've spent over a decade working as a Cheese Monger, Sommelier & Restaurant Manager all for the love of cheese, wine & food in general. I would love to connect you with new and exciting cheeses while also supporting local businesses through this application. I need help though. Great ideas cost $$, and working in food makes it a tad difficult to fund that myself. So, here's the deal. Donate $50, get membership for two years with Cheese to the People. That's half off the What does that provide? Once the application is launched and Membership begins, you will receive:

- Discounts on Delivery
- Have preferences? Keep them saved in the User profile so that every board purchased through the application will be a perfect fit
- Set-up scheduled deliveries of cheese boards. Perfect for weekly, monthly or quarterly office gatherings or dinners at home.
- Reorder a particularly awesome board again, and again, and again!
- Order the Wine & Beer that are paired with your Cheese Board and have them delivered.
- Access virtual content like tastings, cooking classes, tips & a guide for caring for the cheese in your fridge.
- Experience wine on another level with special releases directly from producers & local shops who have the "in"
- Learn about the people behind the cheese with introductions of producers, local mongers and chefs who are doing amazing things with cheese.
- Brag to friends about your adventures in cheese through social media and our own cheese community on the Cheese to the People website.

How will this happen? I have the partnerships with local cheese retailers in the Washington, DC Metro Region set up, I've got the local courier service, I've got a developer who is super excited to build this concept. I even have the user experience mapped out. You can help bring Cheese to the People! to life and add a delicious new experience to your phone.
