Built To Last- A Lesson On Collective Ownership w/ the Cheeseboard Collective

Built To Last- A Lesson On Collective Ownership w/ the Cheeseboard Collective

In this episode we met up with Vanessa and Radcliffe of The Cheeseboard Collective, and we dive into the history of the Cheese Board Collective, how it functions as a worker-owned business, and the challenges and benefits of this model.

Highlights:

  • The Long History: The Cheese Board Collective started in the 1960s as a cheese shop and became a worker-owned collective in 1971.

  • From Renting to Ownership: They recently purchased the building they have been in for almost 60 years.

  • United, They Stand: Worker-owners share the profits and have a say in how the business is run.

  • From Pay to Benefits, everyone gets a slice: They discuss how they all get paid the same rate, and they also get health care benefits!
