We love stopping at cute farm stands, so when we saw this we had to stop. It was so much cuter than I ever could have guessed. When we stopped there were chickens running around, and a duck that is so tame he comes right up to you! He was following the farmers around. It was out of a children’s story. They sold all kinds of home-made gouda (maple smoked, aged, cumin, etc) and other locally made cheeses. We tasted three cheeses, and like Julian said, we’ve never had three cheeses in a row that we both loved so much. We ended up buying the maple smoked gouda (it voted first place by the American Cheese Society) and Vermont Sheppard. We walked around and saw the cows, tractors, a donkey, horses, and piglets! The piglets weren’t fenced in, but when we walked over, they all ran away. We waited a while, and one started to walk towards us, and they all followed, until they were nibbling at my feet! It was so much fun. I hope to live on a farm like that one day.

This is another one of those places I would drive for hours just to get to. The cheese was out of this world and the animals were so cute.
