The Cheese Board Collective Bakery And Cheese Shop is a worker-owned cooperative established in 1971. Originally founded as a collective focused on affordable groceries, it evolved to concentrate on artisan bread baking and cheese mongering. It’s known for its daily pizza night—a long-standing tradition offering affordable, wood-fired pizzas with live music—and its commitment to social justice and community engagement. The space functions as both a retail establishment and a performance venue, prioritizing local artists and fostering a communal atmosphere. Performances are typically held within the bakery space itself, creating an intimate setting for musicians and audiences alike. The collective operates on non-hierarchical principles with decisions made through consensus among its worker-owners.
