  1. Artisan Goat Cheese and Food Ideology in the United States KATY STEWART

  2. Summary of Research • My research explores the production of artisan goat’s cheese in Idaho, taking into account the variables of regulations, value of food and environmental philosophy as it builds the food ideology behind the production of cheese. This research is the first half of a project I will continue next summer in Italy, conducting a cross-cultural comparison of the cheese-making cultures.

  3. Methods • Participant Observation • Semi-structured Interview • Coding with Outline of Cultural Materials • Analysis in HyperRESEARCH

  5. Summary • Regulations • Don’t find them oppressive • Mostly just common sense of keeping things clean • “Can make the exact same style of cheese, do the process the same, and the cheese won’t taste as good.”

  6. Summary • Value given to food • Views it as an art • Have to have good treatment of animal (Ethnozoology) and understanding of animal husbandry • Have to understand land and climate to make good food

  7. Environmental Values and Sense of Place • High value on sense of place • Conservation and improvement of pastures not top priority, because they produce amazing milk without it

  8. Frequencies of Codes in Building Food Ideology

  9. Value of Food Topics

  10. Conclusions • Incredible amounts of factors that go into production of just one type of cheese • Especially when it’s something that has all the steps of production • Contradiction between ideal “local food” system and the affluent upscale market • Disconnect with the idea of caring for the land and using what the land has to offer
