MLKBTCH is a moniker of dual meaning.
On the one hand it is a subversion of the term milkmaid/dairymaid–women in dairy are no fair maids. On the other, when interpreted as “Batch” it is a reference to a batch of milk, ie. morning milk vs an evening milk, and is meant to represent the fact that here you will find a batch or accumulation of matters relating to dairy.
I am a championer of women in the dairy industry and advocate of the history, culture, and relationship of humans and ruminants. It is my goal to share this deep love of the world of cheese and to celebrate the profound aesthetics of it all.
