About Lucy's Whey:

Lucy's Whey offers a large, carefully chosen selection of artisan and farmstead cheeses, all made in America. Each cheese is unique and presents distinctive flavors that reflect the farm, region and ingenuity of the cheesemaker. In addition to cheese, the stores carry a variety of complementary foods, including: jam, marmalade, mustard, chutney, pickles, honey, crackers, and dried fruits.

The mission of Lucy's Whey is to showcase quality American cheeses, support the craftspeople and farms who make and grow good food, and to further educate people about artisan foods.

The cheesemongers at Lucy's Whey come from a variety of backgrounds, having worked on farms and behind the cheese counter. Our staff is passionate about selling cheese and takes pride in sharing the stories of good food and the people who make it.

Lucy Kazickas, proprietor, opened the original Lucy's Whey in East Hampton, New York in 2008, followed by the Chelsea Market location in fall of 2009. She has a passion for cheese, good food and hospitality, and visiting cheesemakers is what she loves most.
