In 2003, Kurt Beecher Dammeier opened his first Beecher’s Handmade Cheese in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. For Kurt, Beecher’s fulfilled an ambition beyond just making great cheese. He has long felt passionately about eating food free of harmful additives and preservatives. That’s why everything produced by Beecher’s, from the handcrafted cheeses to the delicious side dishes and crackers, is authentic, original, full-flavored food made with ingredients they trust and are proud of.

In keeping with Beecher’s commitment to Pure Foods, Beecher’s donates a portion of sales to the Beecher’s Foundation – which inspires kids to make healthy food choices for life. Their interactive learning standards-aligned workshop-in-a-box turns 4 th graders into Food Detectives, one classroom at a time.
