Most of the artisan cheeses sold by Saxelby Cheesemongers on Manhattan’s Lower East Side are made at farms less than a day’s drive away from the city. Shortly after opening in 2006, Anne Saxelby, the owner of Saxelby’s, started monthly (or thereabouts) “A Day-A-Whey” Sunday outings to the cheese belt surrounding New York City.

The trips leave at 8:30 a.m. and return to Manhattan by 6 p.m. Past trips have included visits to Mecox Bay Dairy on the East End of Long Island and Sprout Creek Farm in Poughkeepsie. After a winter hiatus, the Day-A-Whey outings will resume in May.
