    Definitely worth a visit! Exit 186 on 71-S. Great samples of cheese, jam, dried fruits, dips, etc. Fruity frenzy popcorn and peach cobbler ice cream are delish! The Sweet Shop is a must see!

    I love the pickles here! We drove 45 miles, one way, to buy more of the sweet pickles gherkins. By the way, contrary to at least one post, they ARE open Sunday. Check the website.

    This isn't a secret. Just go, taste all the free samples and buy some cheese. You won't be disappointed. It's worth the stop.

    This place was more than what I thought it'd be! FYI open Sundays. Lots of free samples, unusual jelly & syrup flavors (think lavender, champagne, strawberry margarita, etc). Worth a visit.

    This place has every type of cheese you could imagine. My favorites were the 10 year cheddar, whiskey cheese, and garlic cheddar.

    Holy awesome samples! I could've spent way more than I did here. A must stop place for me now when I travel through Ohio.

    So. Much. Cheese. And the dips and dressings are good. You could stuff your face on samplers if you're not careful! Be prepared to take home lots of souvenirs.

    There are so many different types of cheese (hello, maple and bacon cheddar!?) and Grandpa is the sweetest person I have ever met. I really enjoyed stopping here.

    Indulge in free samples of cheese, dips and candies at your own risk. The amount of double dipping going on was enough to make us a bit grossed out.

    The sampler pack is awesome. Farmers cheese very good. Walk around and try everything first. Great sugar free options.
  • Jennifer A.
    Other comments incorrect, open 11 to 6 on Sundays and over 100 cheeses, so not sure how much more variety is needed, gotta go upstairs to get the cheese!

    Just sampled and bought a jar of strawberry margarita jelly. Will be good as a cracker topper more than pbj sandwiches.

    Be prepared to pay for what you want. Not cheap. Good products though. Didn't try the deli. Don't forget the sweet shop next door.
