What You Can Do
Cherry Grove is a family dairy and creamery on nearly 500 acres of preserved farmland, making award-winning farmstead cheese. The farm store sells it alongside grass-fed beef, whey-fed pork, pastured eggs and local foods, and the staff will help you build a cheese board. Through a large window in the store you can often watch the cheesemaking team at work. If you arrive at milking time, which varies, you can watch in the milking parlor; call ahead to check.
Outside, the farm's goats, among them Mr. Tumnus and Vincent Van Goat, wait for a scratch, and there is a garden for picnics. Cherry Grove Kitchen makes seasonal soups, sauces, sides and desserts on site from local ingredients.
Cheese Classes
The class list includes Ricotta Making and Meal ($95), Mozzarella from Scratch ($85), Mozzarella Stretch with Burrata ($85), Making and Cooking with Paneer with Lunch ($95) and a family mozzarella stretch from $80, which sells out. Private cheese classes start at $510. Book through the farm's online shop.
