This is a long overdue review…read more.. Once I found out that they give cheese tours, I made it a compulsory event on my to do list. They host monthly Saturday cheese tours and it cost $7 per person. Remember to call or email in advance to reserve a spot. My boyfriend and I arrived ~10 mins earlier than the scheduled tour. The ladies in the cheese shop area were super nice and told us to start sampling the cheese whilst we wait for the other parties to arrive. This was the first time I heard and tasted quark. We were told by the staff that it can be used in place of yoghurt - eg. eat it straight up or add it to baking. For the tour, they will give you shoe/boot covers and a hair net. They shut down the production line whilst giving the tour, which makes sense for hygiene reasons. The production area was immaculate! The tour guide told us they clean all the equipments and production area at the end of each day after a batch of cheese is made. The tour was informative and our guide was happy to answer all our questions. Apparently ~4000 liters of milk makes 100kg worth of cheese. Out of all the different production stages/areas, we spent the longest in the impressive "cheese cave". There were so many wheels of cheese!!! Each wheel weighs ~10kg and the net worth of cheese in the aging room were in the millions. After the tour the different parties waited in line to buy cheese. The cheese are all vacuum sealed to prolong storage life. Out of the 6 types of cheese I bought, the truffle flavour was favourite. It had a strong truffle aroma with an underlying milky taste.

Farmhouse Artisan Cheese has all that you need for a perfect charcuterie board and more. I tried out the 14 Arpents, Grey Owl, and Brebisrousse. I highly recommend the Brebisrousse cheese as it was creamy, smooth, and mild. If you're looking for something crazy try Grey Owl, it was a creamy and semi mild cheese. The mold on top of the cheese is a little frightening but it kind of tastes like wine in a way. I don't recommend the 14 Arpents as it smells and tastes like a barn lol.

My boyfriend parked the RV and headed in looking for ice-cream while I gave the dogs a potty break. An older gentleman came out and offered water for my 4 legged babies. He inquired about our trip and let all 3 of us into his office to escape the warm day. My boyfriend did indeed get his ice cream fix and pronounced it DELICIOUS! We purchased some butter as well (haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it's great) and would love to have tried the cheese curds, but alas, they didn't have any today. The young man in the store was just as kind, and wanted to know all about our trip. We have had nothing but fantastic interactions with everyone we have met along the way in Canada, and this was no exception. If you see the sign for the Dairy on the Highway, take a short 5 min detour and check it out! Grab a snack and something to drink and maybe make a friend along the way!

They also have some unique snacks and candies like banana chips, special kettle chips, home made candy, and I hear they got some popsicles/ ice cream in the summer ;) Nice place to stop by and grab a treat if you're heading for Saint Jacobs! Oh! And everythings quite a nice, decent price.

I remember seeing peanuts, pecans, cashews, and almonds, and they have different each one in different flavours. They also have chocolate blueberries, cherries, raisins, cranberries, and clusters. Best to just go and check it out for yourself as I can't remember all their products. You won't be disappointed! They're all fairly priced as well. Most items are about 125g to 200g for $2.99. Some products come in a smaller and larger package. Must-try items: peanuts enrobed in a crispy potato chip shell and caramel crisp clusters They're highly addictive! The caramel crisp clusters were so good that I almost finished the entire box in one sitting. Soft chewy caramel dipped in chocolate with little crispy pieces! Craving it from just thinking about it. The crispy potato chip peanuts come in many flavours and I have never seen it being sold anywhere else! Super crispy shell! They have little containers of peanuts on the shelf above some products for you to try before purchasing. They have the crispy potato shell for sunflower seeds too, but there are less flavours to choose from. I believe they also sell ice cream during the summer and the staff are very friendly. St. Jacobs is a beautiful quaint little town near Waterloo so aside from going to Picard's, you can also stop by the town (another 2-3 minute drive). Definitely worth visiting!
