The Village Cheese Company is a micro cheese plant based on the estate winery concept. Our old fashion good times atmosphere will return you to a time when life was relaxed and fun. A time when delicious cheese was as close as your local dairy. When butter on your table was churned from field fresh cream just hours earlier. When a dip in the old swimming hole couldn't beat a scoop of luscious homemade ice cream. Pull up a stool and watch our master cheesemaker, Ivan Matte, in action, making cheese the old fashion way from the best fresh cow's milk available. Enjoy turn of the century artifacts in our store. We have set the cheese industry back 70 years and we're proud of it!
