On our way home from the Herrshner’s Warehouse Sale (in Stevens Point, Wis.), we stopped in Thorp, Wisconsin – in search of cheese curds. The cheese store is at the Penterman Farm, whose cows provide the milk for the Marieke Gouda cheese that is served and sold on the site.

The site is much more than a farm and a cheese store. You can book or take a self-guided tour of the farm. On their web page, it states that the cheese is made within five hours of milking. Check it out HERE

There are children’s activities  … such as the self propelled go-karts and vehicles or you can jump and jump and jump …

You can have lunch or dinner, either inside or outside …

Outside was absolutely beautiful … with a nice breeze, under a bright orange umbrella …

And the food was wonderful and priced very affordably. And, of course, included cheese curds …

And you can shop for gifts and cheese products.

The back area where they keep the freshly made cheese

Or you can people watch … I would guess there is an Amish community nearby.

How can you pass up dill pickle flavored chap stick?

If you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend a visit.

Thanks for reading! I hope you return.
