Copenhagen welcomed us with beautiful spring weather in March. This time we were 14 participants for the council meeting, which we had at HKI Ost.

We were warmly welcomed by Poul Larsen, director of HKI Ost in their premises. HKI Ost is a cheese importing and reselling company and works together with farmhouse and artisan cheesemakers in Denmark. They are a member of Dansk Forening for Gård- og Håndværksmejerier, our newly Danish full member. We had the chance to visit their facilities and taste an interesting selection of cheeses. We really appreciate their hospitality!

During the meeting, the council approved the application of a new full member - Ukraine. The council also discussed how to reach out to new full members, and how to inspire the young cheesemakers to engage in FACEnetwork.

After the meeting we visited Søagergård and Søtofte Gårdmejeri, two young couples which produce farm cheese in the countryside of Denmark.

We thank Claudia Nielsen, chair of the Dansk Forening for Gård- og Håndværksmejerier, for doing an extra effort for organising this council meeting.
