Great Cheese!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/23/07
We're from Ashe County so going to the cheese plant when we visit home is a must. The cheese curds are our favorites, though all the cheese we've had has been very good. Yay cheese!
As a native, I would say that it is a little pricey here, but there are several reasonably priced cheeses and other locally handmade products in the store. It's the only cheese plant in North Carolina, how could you not pick up a little something?
Don't forget to go across the street and see them making the cheese. It's remarkable. They only make certain days of the week, so call ahead if this is something you want to do.
We now live in California, where the milk processor board's slogan is "Great Cheese Comes From Happy Cows." If this is true, then the cows in NC must be ecstatic.
