I'm going to hit you with some cold hard math. Blankety blank percent of the time I'm in a nice…read morerestaurant, and they offer a cheese or charc board with CT cheese, that CT Cheese is from Cato Corner. Seriously. Blankety blank percent. That has to say something! I've had Cato Corner cheese in restaurants. I've bought it at farm stands and markets. But I've never had the pleasure of buying it at their Colchester farm. The small shop at the farm has all their cheese and some other items such as (1) CT Maple Syrup, (2) a CT made Manchego Bread that was fresh and satisfying, (3) cute little savory and sweet cracker-cookie hybrids that were a nice counterpoint to the good salty cheeses, (4) various meats in a cooler, and (5) dog treats that my dog, Pasta, loved. It's not the biggest CT produce season right now. Perhaps they have in season produce in the summer as well, but I couldn't say. I bought the Womanchego and Bloomsday cheeses. One would imagine that Womanchego is basically Manchego with a Wo added to the front to be fun. If I tried this cheese without knowing the name. I'm not sure I would have thought it was a Manchego, but it was good. It's a pale yellow, semi-hard and mild cheese, and it has small holes throughout. It was a bit earthy. Buttery. Creamy. Not really sharp. It was a good eating cheese. The Bloomsday looked similar, but it was sharper and seemed saltier in a good way. I'd be more likely to buy the Bloomsday again. In any event, they had probably over 10 cheese varieties in a number of different styles. I'm not sure if they offer cheese samples since nobody seemed to ask for samples while I was there, and I was in a hurry since my son was with me. I'm giving Cato Corner 4.5 Stars, which is partly based upon the fact that it's fun to buy directly from a farm at the farm, and upon the friendly service. You could see cows inside a structure. Wrong or right, that makes me think the milk and cream they use for the cheese is super fresh. Seems like a good bet. Maybe it doesn't matter that much since cheese is aged, but a lot of scoring businesses is how you feel about the presentation of the product. Cato Corner, with its CT farm and cool branding, makes me feel good. So 4.5 Stars.

On their property, Debbie also has a few small cottages for selling (mostly) vintage or handmade items. Savitzsky Farm is a staple at the Colchester Farmers Market. They're huge supports of local businesses; even selling some products at their farmstand. They give back to the community and help those in need. They even made/sold masks during the pandemic. This is a business that I am proud to support and promote.

What I really wanted was, well, everything, but I contented myself with Heineken beer bread, dill pickle chips, and merlot wine jelly that I picked up for a friend (I hadn't even known that wine jelly was a thing!). Um... wow. Before I knew it, I'd eaten a third of the beer bread, and I had to remind myself that the loaf was tiny and should be conserved. Soft, dense, rich, a hint of sweetness, a hint of beer. Delightful. The pickles, somehow, blew me away even more. They were the freshest tasting pickles I'd ever had, teeming with dill; although they were chips, I felt that it might be a crime to obstruct their taste by stuffing them inside a sandwich. No, these were meant to be enjoyed on their own. I'm creating this entry on Yelp because I genuinely feel that what Maria makes in her kitchen deserves all the attention it can get. I haven't yet heard back about the wine jelly, but seeing as how both of the items I bought were a solid 10/10, I think I can be confident in what I'll hear!
