Opportunity still knocks Thorp over Swiss cheese maker Urs Raber
Swiss-born Urs Raber and his wife Madeline own the Wild Cherry Cheese Factory Inc. near Thorp marking one year in the United States. He came for free enterprise and to make a go of it on his own. Urs learned cheese making in Switzerland and worked in Denmark and California before purchasing the Wisconsin plant from Laura Natzke. He starts work at 4:30 a.m. every day and produces between 7,000 and 8,000 pounds of Swiss cheese daily from 80,000 pounds of milk.
