Always great to stop in, taste all the different free samples. Best gouda cheese I've ever had. They also make awesome grilled cheese with Gouda for a great snack when you're visiting. The grounds are always kept nice and a beautiful place to visit.
Great place to take the kids. They played a video to show them the process of making cheese. We were told they make cheese on Tuesday and Wednesday. Great views along the ponds and get to feed the animals. Staff is awesome 💯 % recommend to visit
Love cheese? I do. Just as you're coming into Oakdale is this wonderful little place. The parking lot has some shaded spaces from the solar panels. We stopped by on a Sunday late afternoon. There were a few people in the store when we got there, but it wasn't crowded. We picked out some cheese and each ordered a grilled Gouda cheese on sourdough and a drink. Would have enjoyed sitting outside to have our grilled cheesy goodness, but we didn't have the time and ate in the car.
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.
