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.
Great place to visit for all ages. Beautiful setting outside with a large, landscaped koi pond, picnic tables for patrons of the sandwich/gift shop. A short walk to goats in a fenced area nearby. At the back of the shop you can watch the process of cheese making. Anyone within one hour's drive should not miss the opportunity to visit. And if nearer, you may want to make this a regular stop for lunch. While there, several locals stopped by just to grab a delicious sandwich.
Great place for families! We always have fun feeding goats and eating great cheeses and new specialty foods! The kids like to choose a stuffed animal when we leave! A great daytime activity!
Wonderful place ti visit. If you want to see cheese being made,go on Tuesday or Thursday!
Best place to stop and stretch and use their clean bathrooms with the kids on the way up to Yosemite or the snow from the Bay Area. Grab some lunch or a snack in the store, and also buy food to feed the fish and goats. Kids love looking at the fish, turtles, chickens, goats, and more.
