Common questions

Watch the squeak, then read the details.

Will they actually arrive squeaky? +

Yes. They're made fresh and shipped fast in a custom cold-pack, so the squeak is intact on arrival. If they quiet down in the fridge, let them hit room temp or microwave about 10 seconds and the squeak comes right back.

How fast do they arrive, and is shipping free? +

Order before Wednesday noon CT and it ships that same week, with most orders arriving 2 to 3 days once shipped. Order Thursday to Sunday and it ships the following Monday or Tuesday. During the November to January peak we ship all week and transit can run 2 to 6 business days. Free cold-pack shipping at $69+ to all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii.

Will they survive the trip without melting? +

Every order is custom cold packed for the forecasted weather at your address, with a reusable insulated bag and ice pack. Honestly, we worry more about freezing in winter than melting.

How long do they keep? +

Eat or freeze within 2 weeks. Curds are the one cheese that freezes well, so stash extras and thaw to room temp when the craving hits.

Are they gluten-free? +

Yes. All Gardner's cheese curds are gluten-free and very keto-friendly. Outside of flavoring it's just pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, and enzymes. No fillers.

What's inside, and any allergens? +

6 oz (170 g) per bag. Base ingredients: pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes. Contains milk and is made in a facility that also handles other dairy. Maple Bacon contains pork.

A note from the Gardner family

We're a family-owned Wisconsin cheese company that strives to deliver the freshest cheese curds in the country to your door, so you can taste exactly what Wisconsin's all about. Our team's up at the crack of dawn, curds are made at 6AM, packaged at 8AM, and boxed up into orders by 10AM. If that sounds like a pain in the a**, that's because it is. But here at Gardner's, we know that's what it takes to get you the freshest damn cheese curds available online.

Our team takes just as much pride in how they custom cold-pack each order, and you'll see that when you experience the joy of opening a package from us. We meticulously check the forecasted weather across all 50 states to make sure your order is perfectly packed with insulated bags and ice packs for wherever it's headed. That way, your cheese arrives to you exactly the way it should.

From our family to yours, thank you for snacking with us.

Your fridge called. It wants curds.

Made fresh, cold-packed, and shipped fast from Wisconsin. One bag keeps about two weeks in the fridge, if it lasts that long.
