It it Spring yet?
The sun keeps trying to shine, although we're still feeling the chill and facing some rather bracing winds at markets!
It's not just the weather that's challenging at the moment. The world is fast becoming a very scary place, and it's all too easy feel hopeless in the face of events happening at a scale we can't influence, which none-the-less are having huge impacts on our day-to-day lives.
It feels a little trite to say that we can all still have an impact locally, but it is true. Helping friends and neighbours and supporting our communities isn't going to stop wars, but it can make us collectively more resilient, and that resilience is how we endure these frightening times until things start to get a little better.
Welcome to The Truckle Truck - a Cheesemonger on wheels selling nothing but the best cheeses, biscuits and accompaniments.
​
Based in Shaftesbury, in the heart of the Blackmore Vale, we travel around the local area with a counter full of outstanding cheeses. Many of them are from the region, but we also enjoy some truly exceptional cheeses from further afield.
​
The star of the show is, of course, Susie, The Truckle Truck Herself. A 1969 Citroen HY van, specially converted to sell cheese, she's become a popular sight puttering our slow and steady way around the Vale's lanes.

If you fancy coming along to the counter to try some cheesey goodness, check out our calendar for details of upcoming markets and festivals. You can also have a look at some of our favourites in our cheesey blog, All About The Cheese or if you're putting together a cheeseboard, find our Tips & Tricks for cheesey success.
