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.
Adorable picnic place with koi pond, chickens, goats and sheep you can feed and pet, picnic benches on a green lawn and a beautiful weeping willow to dream under. Next door to a flower farm. The kids love the museum and gift shop, especially their famous squeaky cheese. The picnic area is free, but you can buy treats for the animals
Such a cute little stop in oakdale. The staff was friendly and the classic grilled cheese is a must have when stopping here! My 2 year old loves the goats and chickens on the property, definitely will be stopping back here again!
I love the outdoor setting! This will be good for the summer. The style of the inside store is beautiful! The grilled cheese is just fine.
Oakdale Cheese is a usual stop for us, but it seems to be more of a destination. They make grilled cheese sandwiches using their Award Winning Gouda. (Trust me they are great!) You can watch the cheese production through glass windows. Our favorites are the Squeakers & Smoked Gouda. Kids( & Adults) love to feed the Goats & Sheep. Its a casual friendly place with outdoor dining. You wont regret stopping by!
