This place is super cool. I read about it in the Strib before a camping trip however we didn't make…read moreit there. About a month later my wife and I hiked at 3 state parks and stopped here for lunch and a beverage. It is awesome! It's a family owned farm with the daughter making wonderful cheeses and they use the leftover liquid from making the cheese to make their spirit AZRO(Araga is the name for fermented milk wine- koumiss- distilled into liquor. We use Redhead Creamery milk sugar to make this fine spirit.) It is a super cook place with extremely friendly people working the farm. The cheeses they make are phenomenal, when I walked into the restaurant/shop area my senses were hit with mouthwatering smells and the food backs it up. Go support an amazing local business, you won't regret it. The drinks were great as was the food, my wife got the JER-LINDY SMASH BURGER It is beef seasoned and smashed with your choice of Redhead Cheese and a house made Lucky's mustard aioli and deep fried cheese curds. I got the pan fried curds, cast-iron fried to perfection and topped with a maple bacon syrup. Again this place is just awesome, definitely go check it out and go on a tour as well!

If you are interested in trying an alcohol made from whey called Azro (tastes like vodka with a blue cheese vibe IMHO, but is perfect for that "secret ingredient cocktail."), stop at the bar and restaurant. I wish we had time to try their food menu, but we will save that for our next visit. Also, huge shoutout to the staff and owner as they answered every question and treated us like VIP customers. Leave early to hit their business hours, make this your delicious detour! It's only a short drive down a gravel road directly to the dairy farm. You won't regret it.

I love the food, the atmosphere and sunlight streaming in through the windows, the location, the hot bar, the produce, the healthy and eco-friendly products, and the diversity of the ever friendly and competent staff.

As well as a nice mix of whiskey with a few harder to find bourbons from time to time. I then move to their deli where they have a nice mix of meat and cheese. There is also a small seating area around the back of the deli where you can eat and enjoy a glass of wine on location. The staff here is wonderful as they seem happy to help and are knowledgeable about the products sold.

I love this place. The wine and spirits side is open and airy with a comfortable feel. The staff is…read morepretty knowledgeable about just about anything, and I have never been steered wrong in a recommendation when I could not make up my mind. My favorite side is the cheese/deli side. I enjoy Surdyk's, but they seem to have cut back on their product offerings, so I have been coming down here to France 44. They have a wonderfully curated selection of cheese of all varieties. You want soft cheese. If you are unsure of a cheese you might be interested in, the cheesemongers will certainly provide you with a description, and even allow you to sample before you buy. To complement your cheese, there is a nice array of cured meats, crackers, olives, etc to add to the cheese-eating experience. One thing I would add is that this establishment is not unlike shopping at Target. You enter to pick up one or two items, and you leave with much more than you intended.

Candies are from Abdallah's Candies in the MPLS/StPaul area, which are always killer good. An assorted box of various flavors insisted on leaving with me.

So it's still good value in my book.

Quaint and super…read moreclean, I thought it would be more of a butcher shop but it's very much so a small town market vibe. Nonetheless, there was a really great variety of meats available packaged and ready to go as well as a great array of sweets, drinks, and other food items. I ended up grabbing a Tbone, NY strip, and some monster cookies for our dinner and the steaks were amazing! The cashier didn't know exactly what farm the meat was sourced from but she did say it was local to the Midwest and that's good enough for me. The cookies were sooo delicious, soft, and had big chunks of chocolate chip with peanuts too!
