About a dozen farmers have become cheese makers to bring more value and variety to their operations. The links below will give you maps so you can plan your weekend trip to find samples of Cheddars, Jacks, Colby, Goudas and Goat Cheese!

Two of the operations I visited...

*Muranda Cheese on Route 96, two miles south of Waterloo. Hard-aged cheese is their specialty! Beautiful dairy farm. Walk around and enjoy! (315) 539-1103

*Lively Run Goat Dairy makes their cheese from goat milk! Be sure to sample the French Chevre! Mmmmm And be sure to see the goats! (607) 532-4647

There are four Open House opportunities coming up!

Saturday, May 29th
Saturday, July 10th
Saturday and Sunday October 9 and 10 (Columbus Holiday Wknd)
Saturday, December 11
