Employee Spotlights

Elizabeth Chubbuck

job title

Meet Elizabeth, a multi-lingual Midwestern firecracker. Even as a young child, Elizabeth knew her future lay in cheese, insisting on eating sliced cream cheese as an afternoon snack despite her mother’s objects that one did not eat cream cheese in such a manner.

Favorite cheese: Alpencheddar
Favorite cheese: Playing the piano, practicing yoga and making vinaigrette.
Weirdest part of the job: The dude who called up and asked if we carried donkey cheese. Is that slang for something inappropriate?!?
Cheese specialty: Training staff to love and talk about cheese and waxing poetic about Colston Bassett Stilton.
Favorite color: It depends on the day, but I typically love the color green. Oh, and I’m a Scorpio.
Special Talent: Speaking French and standing on my head. Simultaneously.

Beth Ann Coulton

WHOLESALE MANAGER

Meet Beth Ann, affectionately known as BA, who gave up a career in the music industry to follow her heart, or rather her stomach, into the world of cheese. She was born on the mean streets of Connecticut, but pursued an obsession and found a true home in the caves below Murray’s.

Favorite cheese: Smoked Beef Kielbasa
Breaking into the biz: I was always obsessed with food and I started thinking more and more about cheese. I had to find out what it was all about so I signed up for Cheese 101. Two weeks later I was down in the caves doing affinage. The rest is history.
Best part of job: I get paid to eat and talk about cheese. Enough said.
Special Talent: I am a champion belcher. I can put truck drivers to shame. I’m also really good at Connect Four. You will lose.
Perfect date: I’m not fussy. Just give me some really good food and a stiff drink.
Favorite color: Speaking French and standing on my head. Simultaneously.

Connor Pelcher

WHOLESALE MANAGER

Welcome Connor Elizabeth Pelcher! JK, sadly our newest WS member is not named Elizabeth, but this spunky VT native is super passionate about all things delicious. He even went so far as to pledge his allegiance to bacon by tattooing the word on the inside of his lip!

Favorite cheese: Stichelton
First job: I had a job washing dishes for a pizzeria at a ski resort in Vermont when I was 13. I told the owner I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up and he started calling me Doogie Howser, M.D. “Hey Doogie, mop the floor!”
Best part of job: Eating cheese, eating meat, eating whatever! I’ll pretty much eat anything. I’ve eaten a fried spider, I’ve eaten live octopus. They were really good!
Cheese specialty: All about the funk, showing people that they don’t have to fear the stink.
Hobbies: Interior decorating? Is that weird? I don’t care. I love buying furniture and art. I guess I get it from my mother.
Favorite color: Stardust.
