Wisconsin is famous for its quality cheeses. People who live in Wisconsin are often nicknamed "cheeseheads" and wear fake cheesehead wedge caps to show state spirit. Wisconsin has many dairy farms with lush pastures for their milk cows to graze. The cows produce rich cream and milk from which the state's famous cheeses and cream are made. Many producers offer cheese gift boxes that can be shipped for Christmas or other holidays.
