What visitors say
Best raw dairy I鈥檝e found around here. Love the selection in their store as well.
Big Bus That鈥檚 Us 路 5 September 2026
Not only are their cows absolutely the sweetest, but the staff was as well. Our guide, Riley, was incredibly informative, so sweet, and she loved the cows dearly. They were well taken care of, and they seemed like they were really happy and well cared for. The store front was beautiful, and their samples of cheese were to die for. 10/10 experience, and would happily come back again just to see Iguana the cow馃挍
