How Delivery Works:

Cheese drops occur during business hours (9am to 5pm) the first Wednesday of each month. Your cheeses and accompaniments are delivered on your doorstep in a reusable insulated cooler bag with a frozen ice pack included.

To make sure everything is properly curated, we close each month’s subscription on the 20th.

Orders placed after that date will begin with the following month’s box.

Example: Order March 21 → first box is delivered the first Wednesday of May.

Note: This service is only available in Baldwin and Mobile counties (Alabama). If you will not be home for a delivery, please email mallory@fairhopecheesepost.com to make arrangements for a different delivery date.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely—especially if you don’t know much about cheese. Each box includes guidance, context, and tasting notes that make it easy (and fun) to learn as you go. If you like good food and enjoy eating cheese, this experience was made for you.

  • If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, please note them in the dietary restrictions tab at checkout so we can do our best to accommodate. That said, please be aware that nuts may be used at our packing facility, so we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.

    As for dislikes: this is a fully curated experience, and part of the fun is trusting the process. If you’re curious, open-minded, and love discovering new flavors, you’re in the right place. If you prefer to choose every item yourself, this may not be the best fit—and that’s okay!

  • Monthly drops occur on the first Wednesday of each month. If you place an order before the 21st, you’ll receive it the following month. If you order after the 21st, it will begin in two months. For example, an order placed on March 22 will be delivered the first Wednesday of May.

  • Each delivery arrives in a soft-sided, reusable cooler packed with ice packs to keep everything properly chilled. Cheeses are individually wrapped, and accompaniments arrive in their original packaging. It’s designed to protect quality, flavor, and food safety—without excess waste.

  • You don’t need to be home at the moment of delivery—but you should plan to bring your cheeses inside the same day. Your cheese arrives chilled and well-packed, but it’s happiest once it’s safely in your fridge.

    Just leave your cooler bag on your doorstep and we’ll happily swap it for a freshly packed one. Your bag is tagged and will be the only cooler used for your deliveries throughout your subscription.

    At the end of your subscription, should you choose not to renew, you’ll keep the cooler and we’ll include some swag as a thank you!

  • Yes! You can pause or cancel at any time. We want this to feel like a joy—not a commitment you’re stuck with. If you ever need to make a change, just reach out.
