History
It began with a building in need of love and a town in need of cheese. In the winter of 2008 Karen Porth, a physician in need of a sabbatical, and her architect husband Andrew, who has a professed weakness for run down buildings, purchased the structure at 105 W 12th St. and began demolition work. Nine months later, Babcock & Miles, Ltd., Merchants of the Delectable, opened its doors to the delight of local and visiting turophiles (cheese lovers) and enophiles alike.
