Now that’s Kentucky Proud!
At just 13 years old, Barren County’s Gideon Showalter of Maid-N-Meadows, took home a Gold Medal at the 2026 Kentucky State Fair for his family’s farmstead feta cheese made from sheep’s milk and aged in traditional-style basket.
His 14-year old brother, Rowan, also earned a Gold Medal for his Tomme in the Natural Alpine Artisanal category which is a blend of sheep’s and cow’s milk made at their farm in Glasgow, KY. 🧀
