As a photographer, I’m always looking for pretty locations, and this place is full of charm — the pond, the open grassy areas, and the cozy country vibe make it such a sweet backdrop for casual or lifestyle photos. Plus, the staff is always so kind, and it’s a great place to grab a snack or relax after a session. Whether you’re visiting for the cheese or just enjoying the scenery, it’s definitely worth stopping by! (Fb/insta: @kiragrace.photography )
Such a sweet & fun place to visit! If just to make a quick stop or need a break from your day enjoy a variety of gouda cheese options, a row of Gluten free crackers, beautiful fresh flowers while sitting by the coi fish pond and feeding the animals.
This place is such a cute little hidden gem. Their cheese is delicious and my kids always love seeing their animals and fish there.
Unbelievable cheese and beautiful/serene property! Great place to swing by on a roadtrip by Oakdale!
We love stopping here whenever we pass through Oakdale. Very nice grounds to picnic at with one of their wonderful hot cheese sandwiches. They have great products in the store. Cheeses from their dairy, and products from a number of other local companies. The goats are fun to feed.
