Tulip Tree Creamery

Hand-made cheeses made from Indiana milk that is free from (added) hormones and antibiotics. The kind of cheese that makes you wanting more!

Established in 2014.
After 20 years of making cheese for other people, our owner, Fons Smits decided it was time to make cheese and other dairy products (like butter) for himself! So, in June of 2014, he and co-owner, Laura Davenport, opened Tulip Tree Creamery. Fons started making cheeses using traditional recipes from Europe and he added his own twist to each (from his experience making cheese all over the world)…ever since, he’s been cranking out some amazing products. He’s originally from the Netherlands but, he’s been here in the US for 10 yrs+ – he now resides in Zionsville, Indiana.
