Who
we are:
 Matt
Jennings
Matt, co-owner and Master Cheese monger of Farmstead,
has been handling, selling and falling in love with
all things cheese since 1995- while at culinary school
in Vermont. Since then, he has worked as a chef, as
well as across the country for numerous artisan cheese
stores, wholesalers, and producers. Matt has also spent
time in Europe studying with Master Cheesemongers and
cheese-makers in the United Kingdom, France and Italy.
Kate Jennings
Kate is a classically trained Pastry Chef and co-owner
of Farmstead, who is most content when her hands are
in the flour. Kate describes her style as “Rustic
yet refined”. Although she enjoys pushing the
envelope with such recipes as “Sausisson and Ricotta
Torta”, or “Pumpkin and White Chocolate
Cheesecake”, she often defers to the classics.
“..There is just nothing better than a chocolate
chip cookie and a glass of cold milk”. We couldn’t
agree more.
Terrence Geary
For someone who will almost never sit down to a glass
of milk, it is no surprise that cheese is a staple of
Terrence's diet. Before signing on at Farmstead Terrence
studied at The Cooking and Hospitality Institute and
has spent the last six years in almost every aspect
of the food and wine business. Most recently, he held
numerous positions from Cheese monger (his favorite),
to Director of Internet Development for the largest
wine retailer in the country. Terrence is our cheese
buyer and retail manager.
Liam Maloney
Liam is a Rhode Island native who left some time ago
to study the theatre in New York . As such things happen,
ten years later he has gone through theatre school,
become a chef, moved to Brooklyn ,gotten married, and
moved back to his home with his lovely wife to be with
the cheese at Farmstead. It doesn't get any better than
that. Liam is a skilled cheesemonger and selects all
our gourmet products in the shop. |
