On a trip, my dad noticed a sign of Heritage Ridge Creamery and asked me if I wanted to stop. Who has to think twice about stopping for some cheese? Sure, I guess I can stretch my legs on a gorgeous July day while eating cheese. Man. This is what I live for!
This was my first Midwest cheese shop, and it was quite the experience! They had plenty of samples and a great selection of products at amazing prices. Who would have ever thought that cheese curds come in that many flavors? I bought a few items, which were all excellent in quality. You can also watch the cheesemaking process from the shop, which was quite interesting. There was nothing fancy about the shop, but it was incredibly clean and the workers were friendly. It was definitely worth the 20-25 minute or so detour through Amish country from the interstate to this gem.
I regret not buying more cheese there but considering I was away from home, I tried to limit myself. If I would have known that what I purchased was so tasty (and well priced), I would have bought some more cheese to take through six states with me. Definitely recommend this shop to locals and passerbys--don't forget your cooler, road trippers! read more
