Drinks
Olney Good Cheese
Olney Good Cheese
Hi, I’m Nooshin, pleased to meat you. Olney Good Cheese was an idea that popped up over a charcuterie board that I created for a Friendsgiving. An idea that at first seemed a bit of a reach, started to simmer on the back burner the next day. I love making charcuterie boards and after lots of research and encouragement from friends and family, I decided to jump off and take a risk. No risk, no reward, right? I took this risk with starting my current day job, running my mental health practice, Empowering You, LLC, also located in Olney, MD. A mental health professional by day and board creator by night, I’m also married and have two young girls. I love living in Olney with my family and can’t wait for you to have Olney Good Cheese!
