If you don’t walk out with something special or cheese-ish, you’re really missing the mark. There’s so much cheese and specialty items to choose from that pair so so well together, you really should walk out with something cheesey or special. I’m telling ya. I walked out with the most fantastic aged Gouda chunk and a nice chunk of delicious goat Gouda. So, I’m one step ahead of you with my cheese.
Always a favorite. Been here many times and the grilled cheese is amazing. Also they have a few cats that roam around outside and they are very sweet. Loved it. You can buy bags of food to feed the animals outside as well as the fish in the pond.
Cheese was yummy, especially their goat gouda. Nice place for a picnic after buying cheese. Don't forget to pet and feed the animals.
This was our first time here as a stop on the way home, and we were so pleasantly surprised! They make a variety of cheeses but of the ones we tasted the aged Gouda was supreme. They have a small basic lunch menu that was perfect for the price, and you can buy cheese and other speciality food items to have your own picnic. We enjoyed the beautiful property and friendly farm animals. Our pup even settled into the relaxing vibes! We will definitely return next time we are in the area.
Amazing selection of cheese made in-house. You will find lot of Dutch souvenirs. We tried grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. It was good. Parking is plenty. You can buy animal feed to give the animals.
