In 2007 the Wisconsin Cheeseman was purchased by a group of private investors, the Wisconsin Food Gift Company. That company went into receivership in February 2011 and its assets were auctioned off. The Wisconsin Cheeseman was purchased by Colony Brands, the parent company of Swiss Colony. Mille Lacs Gourmet Foods was acquired by Steve’s Wholesale Dairy Company of Sun Prairie.
