Cheese Alert! Cheese Alert! This is definitely cheese heaven…read morefor any of you cheese lovers out there. This amazing little Cheese Factory located in Madoc, Ontario is just a short drive from Campbellford, Marmara and Warkworth but if you're a cheese lover like me, it's not too far from anywhere. I drove all the way from Brampton, actually I was close by staying in Marmora (see my other review) but still this place was on my list of things to see. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, their selection is amazing and the cheese curds??? Ohhh lets just say they didn't make it back home to Brampton. They store is reminiscent of a time gone by, it has a very rustic feel like an old country store, I loved it. They even have ice cream and fresh hot dogs to go and I don't mean those chincy little dogs, I mean these are bigger than the buns, yes I got me one of those as well. This is not a store you want to rush in and out of. Go on in, take your time and have look around, they have all sorts of treats and neat things. You must try their dip, if you don't see it up front by the cash ask for it, you won't regret it. So if you're in the Peterborough area or around Hastings County, make sure to make your way over to visit this amazing cheese factory.

I have driven by multiple times and always been curious as to what water buffalo might taste like and today decided it would be the day to be adventurous. We grabbed some burger patties and sausages and can hardly wait to get home to try them. The small store is the perfect setting to ask questions about how to prepare the meat if you haven't before. Very helpful and friendly service. Hope we like the water buffalo now.

Now that we know we enjoy the taste, our next visit will be even more fun. The little shop itself is cool with water buffalo paraphernalia all over the place including small carvings, photos, stuffed animals, horns, and more. Cheeses, dairy products of all kinds, jerky... so many tasty things. Go... go now.

The outside displays are always enticing; everything from fresh herb plants to produce can be seen as a backdrop to a small outdoor seating area, which is a great place to chill once you've grabbed a quick ready-to-go item for a snack or lunch. Typical items are sandwiches, fresh pizza, baked goods. Also, coffee is pretty decent. I'm a big fan of their move to support gluten free products. They currently carry Purest, a brand that's based in ON, and every Wednesday is gluten-free day; they have pizza and sandwiches that are really yummy. And, today I even scored a GF brownie - delicious. Prices definitely reflect the quality, which I won't complain about - it just makes it a more occasional stop for me.

Delicious soup, spinakopita and other goodies. They sell almost all local produce, with some flux during the winter months. Lots of meat, cheese options as well as veggies and a growing section of other staples like flour and beans. CSA drop-offs also abound here and it sort of turns into a cool little hub of activity in the summer. Not really much by way of seating area except during the summer time when the outside area turns into a patio area. Also probably some of the best coffee in Kingston. Bueno bean is the bomb.

Great deal on six kinds of cheeses; she also included sweets, a zucchini spread, and breadsticks too! See picture for the package. The only thing I'd change is their pick-up system; you have to email Patricia to make an appointment, and then update her every time your availability changes. It'd be easier for customers (and less hassle for Patricia) if it were an online booking system. However, these cheeses are wonderful-- I've never seen any of these brands before.
