A fourth generation Puget Sound native and nascent New Yorker, Kurt has always felt passionately about authentic, full-flavored foods, free of artificial additives and preservatives.
Born and raised in the Seattle Metro area, Kurt was introduced at an early age to the unique, rich character of artisan foods – like small-batch, handmade cheeses. In fact, some of Kurt’s earliest memories center on his great-grandpa Beecher who had a penchant for ripe wheels of Stilton.
A chance meeting connected Kurt with a local farmer and his herd of healthy Holstein and Jersey cows. Working with local dairies guarantees that Beecher’s can ensure the cows are humanely treated and fed only high quality feed without added recombinant bovine growth hormones (rBST).
Beecher's Handmade Cheese is an artisan cheesemaker with retail locations in the greater Seattle area and several airports. The company was founded by Kurt Beecher Dammeier in 2003 and opened in Pike Place Market after Dammeier acquired a difficult-to-obtain storefront lease in the Market.

The company was founded by Kurt Beecher Dammeier in 2003 and opened in the Pike Place Market after Dammeier obtained a difficult to obtain storefront lease in the Market.

Celebrating 20 years, Beecher’s continues to add deliciousness to your table – recently extending our product line to include artisan cheeses, crackers, frozen entrees and sides, and soups.
