| feral trade swiss alps cheese |
| from Holzmatten commons Grindelwald, Switzerland | | Cheese from Grindelwald's Holzmatten ancient commons, a sunny alpine idyll facing the north face of the Eiger. The village cows pass the summer at 2200m eating particular mountain herbs, the horned cow variety research shows deliver the best milk. Formed daily into cheese at 1600m alpine hut by commoners channeling swiss engineering and 500 years of cheese making tradition, the cheese is over-summered at altitude then cellared on further down the mountain 1 year at 12 degrees C in the basement beneath self-built Grindelwald home of commoner/carpenter Peter Eggers, who runs his 5 cows on Holzmatten alp for the brief but vivid summer season.
ferally traded since: 14/09/14.

Tube Waterloo to Kentish Town, to arrive just 1 hr late for the Sharpen the Saw coaching workshop at the Clean Break prison theatre education programme's women only building, where the cheese accidentally overnighted in the upstairs kitchen fridge. Picked up on day 2 of the workshop & carried via a quick pub meet with Ruth Catlow from Furtherfield to Old St station tube, walked from there to Shoreditch |

kate rich Met Marianne at the Bern central station concourse meeting point where 2 triple-lined paper bags of freshly wrapped, 1-year matured alpine cheese were exchanged for 300 CHF cash, with luck the exact maximum the local cash machine would allow out. Supplier & trader had time for a quick social catch-up before boarding respective trains back. Travelled back to Fribourg, where the cheese was stored for a few days, kept cool against Swiss summer heat in an available Bluefactory fridge. 29/8 re-loaded rolling suitcase with cheese and hauled this back to Fribourg station, meeting Martin Schick from Bluefactory on the Geneva bound train for a speedy business meeting alongside Geneva lake views. Switched trains at Geneva where EU-bound travellers pass out by a Customs channel, the only people being searched were a south asian-looking couple. Train to Paris Lyon as the sunstruck mountain landscape flattened into industrial farmland and drizzle then RER from Paris Lyon to Nord station which provides an all-escalator route for the grateful feral trade courier. Eurostar, tube, Bristol train local bus & another stretch of walking delivered cheese to feral trade fridge by around 10PM.
