Positively chuffed to have been chosen to be included in 2022 ! Couldn’t have gotten there without the hard work of many, many local, regional, national and international cheese makers, charcutiers, and farmers, so the most gargantuan thank you goes out to those who give me the materials for the medium!

First up: Maple Bacon Butternut! Diced butternut is caramelized in the rendered bacon fat, finished with a drizzle of maple syrup and a touch of rosemary.

Got to try out a sample board I’d ordered ages ago today!
As with any small business, you never start out perfect, you just start somewhere.
I’m still on the hunt for the perfect canvas and delivery system, which is TOUGH when you’re driven to be little-miss-sustainable thanks to a background in CA farm-to-table, but I have to remind myself: at least I’m one of the ones that give a s**t ♻️😉

The boxes are coming out of Quarantine for MOTHERS DAY! I’ve stocked a limited number of boxes for Dads and Kiddos to PICK UP for Mom on Mothers Day SUNDAY MAY 10TH! Boxes are $99 and contain FOUR cheeses, as well as a mix of fresh and dried fruits, Mast chocolate, pistachios, honey, decorative florals and accompanying crackers.
A Venmo to secures your order, I’ll update with pickup location closer to the date!

It’s been a minute since I’ve introduced myself and I’ve noticed a few more of you around here! I’m Melissa Fairchild Clark, the Fairchild behind the Fromage and the Clark behind . Also featured is my special guest star, quarantine roomie, bed hog, undyingly hopefully squirrel assassin and the best impulse buy ever, Canis Tobis.
was born out of a quarter life crisis that took the form of a departure from corporate fashion and furnishings work in NYC to the Bay Area for culinary school.
was born out of an off handed comment during a catering gig that “I would hire you just for the cheese board!”.
Right now without those types of gigs (stay home, stay safe, stay healthy!), I’m pivoting to pizza kits which are featured over .
Stay tuned for updates and impromptu cheese parties! Xoxo, M

Hi All! A note about Friday Boxes going forward:
As many of you know or have surmised, I’m a one-woman small business whose product is perishables, and with that comes risks I’d like to quell. When this all began I had back stock that allowed me to offer up the Friday Boxes with a $25 donation attached to help my community who have much higher overhead than myself with high rent and staff to consider. This felt like the right thing to do — great privilege carrying great responsibility and all. I’ve now reached the end of that ability. It hurts my heart in ways I haven’t quite figured out how to articulately enumerate. I’m now crossing my fingers to have enough orders this Friday to work through/cover the cost of the stock I have, and then close out operations until this curve has flatlined and life requires celebrations that require cheese!
So, if you’d like the last round of Friday boxes, with some gorgeous cheeses and meats and fruits and veggies I’ve got begging to be noshed, shoot me a dm and we’ll brighten up your friday!

This weeks Friday Box!
I’m so lucky to still be able to practice my passion, and so lucky to be able to use it to give back to my community. I owe all of that to you all who comment, dm, email and text me to order these. Thank you. You’re making an impact. We’re making an impact. Have a wonderful weekend, y’all!

It’s FRIDAY BOX DAY! There are still a few spots left if you’d like to place an order before 4pm!
Boxes are $99 which includes a box like this (fully wrapped), crackers, and a $25 donation to a food pantry or gift certificate to a local business for a later giveaway.
Pick up is 6-6:45 tonight at the St. Peter’s/Ride Reflect lot in Morristown. DM me to place your order!

Some of the boxes that went out last night! I’ll be doing this every FRIDAY for PICK UP in MORRISTOWN as long as supplies last and the governor permits it. I’ve tagged the businesses that have and will see relief in some form from this!

INTRODUCING: Social Distancing Donation Sundries! A mashup of all my favorite things from my residency. $65 for the bundle (my wholesale cost + $25 donation to a local small biz).
1. , fill with liquor or water, refrigerate for 3-5 days, enjoy 8+ cocktails or mocktails from one jar! (If you add sugar again, you can stretch to a second steep).
2. salsa - the only salsa I buy! So much depth of flavor.
3. jam - creative approachable flavors, great with cheese or on toast/waffles!
4. - a capful is wonderful in seltzer, cocktails or mocktails!
5. caramel, because I know you’re baking or ice cream diving!
These will be available either as an add on to one of Friday’s boxes or as a stand alone purchase for Friday pick up! Flavors vary but I’ll be using my chef-y instincts to make sure everything in your package works together! Again, THANK YOU for helping me help the community!

UPDATE! It looks like for now, delivery and pick up food is safe from shut down, so I’m going to keep doing boxes (safely and with much consideration for sanitation), while supplies last, with a few changes:
1. ALL orders will be for FRIDAY
2. Orders will be PICKUP ONLY, from 4-6pm, location TBD, I’ll update.
3. Orders will have entire sealed jars of jam/honey/caramel rather than open pinch bowls.
As with before, they are $99 with $25 of each order being either donated to a restaurant relief fund, a food pantry, or a gift certificate to a local shop to be given away at a later date.
DM me to place your order, and THANK YOU for helping me help my community!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Thank you all so much for your support these past few days in helping me help my community.
As much as I’ve only been going to my work kitchen and back home to do this, using what I have on hand, I’ve decided to halt new orders for the time being to allow myself to be responsible and socially distance.
I’ll be thinking up ways to stay active with you guys in the meantime, with at home cheese parties and possibly some tutorials, so stay tuned, stay safe, stay healthy!

Self quarantined cheese plate party!
Now feels like the moment to say “f*ck it, we’ll do it live” about food!
Whether you’re throwing together something that looks edible or dumping a pile of grated parm on a plate for some much needed comedic relief, tag in your cheese plates tonight and let’s just let it all hang out!

A few tables from last nights pop-up opted for a takeout option for the sake of recommended social distancing and it got me thinking:
Many in the industry are in dire straits at the moment, and I want to help.
As long as supplies last, I’ll be offering Social Distancing boxes like the ones in this album.
Boxes are $99 with delivery within 5 miles of the Morristown Green, and for every box sold, I’ll buy a $25 gift certificate to a local restaurant to hold a giveaway for you all when things normalize and we can comfortably get back out in the world.
Shoot me a dm or an email to order; let’s help the businesses that make this town one we’re proud to live in!

NEW BOX ALERT! Welcome The Date Night Box to the repertoire, my response to the demand of the Valentine Boxes!
Great to share after scheduling your Uber, while you cook together for a night in, or while enjoying a nightcap.
As always, feel free to inquire via dm or email!

Hi y’all! It’s been a minute since I’ve shown my face on here and I want to introduce myself to you new followers!
I’m Melissa Fairchild Clark, private chef and caterer, hat addict, BLT connoisseur, and accidental cheese monger. I’m a born and raised Jersey girl who quit the corporate fashion and furnishings industry of NYC and moved to California to become one of 12 students in the country’s first farm-to-table focused curriculum. I cut my teeth in Silicon Valley and Wine Country, and then moved back east to revisit my roots.
Fairchild’s Fromage was born from necessity out of my other outfit, . It’s a wonderful marriage of what I love: food, artistry, design, curation, family-style eating, and being at all the parties 😉.
I’m in a major moment of growth with this business and the ideas, collaborations and actions are flowing freely, so stay tuned for what’s next, and I’ll see you around a board!

Leave it to .morristown to get an awesome shot of my grazing table from last weeks Galantines event that I like more than the approximate 9,000 I took! (And nope, the one in the mirror isn’t her, the mystery will persist!)
If you’re hosting an event and want a low-maintenence, high-impact food moment, get in touch!

This was a fun one! A friend from college got in touch because she was having a soup party, “can you make a board of things to go along with the soups”? I’m a HUGE fan of saying yes now and figuring it out later, so, “yup sure can”!
She got me the headlining soups and I made a focaccia last night, a gremolata this morning, and sliced up some lemons, herbs and crunchy veggies as the supporting cast.
If you’re having a party and want someone *else* to brainstorm those final details for your offerings, don’t hesitate to get in touch! I live for a challenge.
(Side note: yes, those are pink lemons, yes, I got so excited I bought the rest that the store had, don’t worry, you’ll see a lot more of those and purple radishes in the immediate future!)
