This is a nice little shop. Very clean and the help were very nice. They have a fairly large cheese selection for it being a little shop. They also have a deli where you can buy lunch meat to take home or they will make you a sandwich. I noticed they are also bringing in Amish jams and jelly's as well. If your out that way it's worth a stop! read more

My grands wanted to watch them make cheese and it wasn't happening when we arrived. They have samples but please be aware - they have 2 containers "new' & "used" of toothpicks. I saw a couple people get mixed up! OOF! Love their horseradish cheese. read more

The cheese I picked out was moldy despite not expiring for another half a year. I put it back. I brought an elderly disabled veteran who was exited about their sandwiches..... he almost fell over from the wait. Customers were concerned, the staff didn't care. They took forever to make 2 sandwiches for the lady in front of us and the cashier was incredibly slow. I found the old man hanging against the glass looking afraid and in pain. They did not care. I had to send him out to sit. They were out of almost all their deli meats so I didn't get anything despite driving 40 minutes. read more

1/27/2025 My wife's sister always sends me a package of cheese and jams for my Christmas present every year for the past probably 25 years or more. Probably is more than that. Love the cheese and Red Raspberry Jam. Have had some problems over the years but I guess that's to be expected with the way the world is going now days. So, I received my package this past year and the cheese is great. As I still had some of the jam left from my last package, we just put these jams, three jars, on a shelf in the pantry for now. Even left them in the plastic bubble wrap. So Sunday, 1/26/2025, I needed some jam and when I went to open up the bubble wrap the jam was all over inside of the wrap. Find out that the lid was not even tight like it should be to be sealed under pressure. This happened for all three jams that I had received. My wife called this morning to complain about what happened at phone number 440-632-5567. After being put on hold forever she hung up and called back and got the same person named Clara. After my wife explained what happened she never apologize or offered to do something for us. My wife had to ask her what can you do for us. Clara checked and said there was no more of the jam in stock and would we want to wait for a shipment to come in. Seeing how the new jam might be in the same condition my wife said no but can you substitute cheese for us and she said yes we can do that. Clara didn't want the bar codes on the jam bottles so as to maybe have quality control check on there stock to see what happened and not send anymore of the jam out if the lids were not sealed properly. I would have thought she would at least want to notify the company that makes the jam if they don't do it there. Rick B read more

Swiss cheese is melt-in-mouth amazing! And I love the sign in the door about optional masks. "We trust in God to protect us, therefore we do not we masks." We will surely be back. read more

Middlefield Original Cheese Co-Op - Production. - Cheese Shops Near Me - Middlefield, Ohio

love this store, they have the best prices on cheese and lunchmeat. We make the trip every year to get cheese. It's well worth the trip

Drove an hour to see that they have a sign out front that they don't believe in masks and if you don't like it, you can leave. So I did, and I'm just letting y'all know so you can save money on gas if you feel the same way. Sounds like they're doing just fine without my money anyways. read more

Sadly! The product is good but they are not practicing social distancing or using masks. Very disappointed in the Amish community and its disregard for its neighbors. read more

Prices varieties, and quality of cheeses and other bulk products. Stuff you can't find elsewhere.

I buy products from Middlefield Cheese Co-op. I order by phone and have it shipped to me in Kansas. I wish I could travel there to shop in person and meet the nice people who take my orders. I would have no trouble walking in there without a mask. I, too, believe God will take care of me. We all have a right to our beliefs. If you are uncomfortable there, don't go. Maybe you nay-sayers should examine your faith. Keep up the good work Middlefield! read more

Stop making every damn thing political! This place has delicious cheese. The Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar and even Parm melts in your mouth. Only complaint I have is that they have banking hours so get there by 3:30 p.m. read more

Amazing cheese, awesome selection, extremely reasonable prices. This is a place you do not want to miss! 10 stars!

This is a pandemic review from a long time customer who has very much enjoyed their local cheeses for decades. Today I came into the coop with a mask, knowing that some places in Amish country may not be following health directives, but i wanted to see if this long-time haunt of mine could be supported during the pandemic. I came in, looked around, and found no employees wearing masks -- not the slicers, not the cashiers. I walked out. My wife encouraged me to say something, so i went back in and talked to the manager, from a distance, who heard me out very politely but acted as if she were surprised that anyone would be concerned about their employees serving customers without being masked. If you have health concerns, I am very sorry to say it is best not to go here. It is, I suppose, their privilege not to believe in the pandemic, but those of us at risk need to stay away for now. (Note that i was very happy with my next nearby stop in Middlefield, where everyone was masked.) read more

I am so happy to have a place where I don't have to cover my face and restrict my breathing causing many health problems because people are brainwashed thinking that a mask is going to save their life. Thank you so much!! Masks are killing you Middlefield. Stop being sheep. read more

Stop by the next time you're in Middlefield. This place has an impressive variety of cheeses at very good prices, and you can get a nice view of their production floor while you're in line. They have excellent sandwiches that are basic, but huge, as in 1/4 pound of meat huge. Price for that sammie, about $4 with cheese, lettuce and tomato. Nothing fancy goin in here, but try it out. Might bring back memories from your childhood when you made your first sandwiches. It did for me anyway. read more

I have been ordering bulk cheese for shipment to NM for a few years. The service is great and the cheese is excellent! So glad they are respecting the freedom of Americans to wear a mask or not. Thank you for a great product and business! read more

Sign on door says they do not agree with wearing masks and not to come in if you're uncomfortable with it. Was still going to get some cheese until one of the 3 unmasked women behind the counter had a coughing fit. Will wait until after pandemic to patronize. read more

I love cheese and I love Middlefield Cheese the best. Seriously... In a factory that has grown leaps and bounds over the past ten years, this shop has some of the best cheese money can buy, and based on there prices you are getting lots of cheese ! The shop has a wide variety of locally produced baked goods, and hard to find imported food from around the world. The star here is the cheese though they have all varieties, with delicious swiss being the most popular, then several types of cheddar, co-jack and Parmesan to round it out. Cheese goes on sale weekly, that rotates so you can get the cheese you want for even cheaper if you call ahead and ask what the specials are. When I went last time they had pizza cheese on sale which was an American Cheese filled with spices and herbs that made it taste like you were eating pizza. Amazing ! They also have sandwiches that are really nicely priced for example: Several slices of fresh ham, and swiss cheese, on a delicious fresh bread with mustard for 1.99 ! Middlefield Cheese also has a wide range of meats that you can order by the pound that they will slice anyway you want for you. The only down side to this store is that it can get a bit busy, with lots of people coming from far around to get there products, don't be surprised to wait up to 20 mins in line to get to check out. Locally owned means a lot in this part of the country. But it is once again worth the trip if you live anywhere near here read more

Amish farms that make THE BEST CHEESE. ABSOLUTE BEST CHEESE IN THE WORLD ! Can even order it online ! https://www.realamishcheese.com/php/index.php Wherever you go, you are leaving a trail of breath "vapor." Although bacteria can not hitch a ride on such vapor, viruses can. To prevent the spread of viruses you would actually need a containment suit, something like astronauts wear. Masks prevent "aerosol" from sneezes and cough but can not prevent vapor from escaping around a mask. To think so is ridiculous. Masks do not absorb your breath. We exhale many liters of vapor everyday. And everywhere you walk you are breathing in everyone's invisible breath vapor clouds. People who believe in masks have a problem with their sense of proportion and spacial relationship. You simply can not pour a liter in to a one ounce shot glass without overflow. There's a huge difference between "vapor" and "aerosol." Masks can not, in any way, prevent breath vapor from going in to and floating in the air. Masks are a scam. Masks are just an insidious government's method to prevent the masses from freaking out. Einstein said, "There is nothing more dangerous than an uneducated person with an opinion." read more

Great prices on their cheese which is also super tasty! And they do accept credit cards! You can buy giant blocks of your cheddar or habanero cheese for less than $20. Watch it being made while you shop! read more

Cute place. Very clean and organized. I esepecially like how they have a clear window where you can see the cheese being made. very cool.

The review by Brian D above is a review of Middlefield Cheese Chalet Shop where the cheese is made by Swiss methods , NOT the Middlefield Cheese Co-op which is mostly Amish owned & run located on Kinsman Road (Rte 87) The Middlefield Cheese Co-op is a wonderful mostly Amish co-op where they make cheeses with hormone free milk in the traditional vat method. You can see cheeses being made during the week. Be aware the cheese you buy here is fresh and has a shorter lifespan than the cheese made at the Cheese Chalet or that you buy at the grocery store. It is also less expensive. We do buy cheeses from both places when we go to Middlefield, but if I had to choose only one, the Cheese Co-op would be the one I would for their fresher more natural cheeses. They also have a Farmers Market in front of the Co-op during the growing season with fresh veggies & baked goods by Amish families on Saturdays. read more

Went to shop after the yelp reviews. Limited selections on types of cheese, but the kinds of cheese most popular. Lunch meat & some deli items, sandwiches made to order. Taste is fantastic, staff very courteous. Maybe busy during lunchtime. Everyone's right great price, great tasting, but Beth R. review they no longer take CREDIT, only CASH or checks. read more

Just returned from a visit there. I love cheese and this store has everything. The prices are about a third of what I normally pay for cheese and all samples I tried were great. If you want to see the cheese being made go before 11 am. In addition to cheese they also have great prices on locally made maple syrup, homemade noodles, and meat. I purchased a 1 lb bag of roast beef for $1.00, Shipping fees were unbelievably inexpensive ( shipped approximately 30 lbs of cheese, 10 pints of maple syrup and other lighter weight items cold packed UPS for $18.00.) Well worth a visit. read more

Best cheese! Gave it as gifts at Christmas and made the recipients very happy. EXCELLENT prices on 5# bricks. Tried mild white cheddar, smoked cheddar, horseradish, pepper jack and monterey jack and LOVE them all. Also need raw milk cheese and was happy with that as well. Free shipping with a minimum order of 20 pounds. Bought lots more than that! read more
