This charming farm destination consistently wins visitors over with its standout cheese selection and friendly cafe. The cheese shop is clearly the star attraction here, with multiple reviewers calling it the best part of their visit and raving about the variety of flavors available. The onsite cafe serves up memorable treats like peach milkshakes and what some say is the absolute best grilled cheese around. It's become a popular spot for a quick visit or leisurely day trip, combining a market, gift shop, and food options all in one place. Tours are available but tend to be on the pricier side for what's included, and they're not always running. One visitor had an unfortunate experience with a moldy croissant, though staff did attempt to fix the situation. That said, the overall vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Most people leave happy with their cheese purchases and cafe experience, making it a solid choice if you're looking for quality local products and homemade goodies in a casual farm setting.
Great cheese. Try a milkshake too, I don't really like milkshakes and theirs are delicious.
