Cady Cheese Factory & Gift Shoppe

Too bad, the factory tours were not running when we came on Sunday. The gift shop sells a dozen or so varieties of their own cheeses, plus some more. We liked being there.

We have been many times as there is nothing like fresh cheese curds. Salty, creamy, squeaky perfection. They employees are not overly friendly, but they are nice they will answer any questions you ask them. Perhaps they would sell more is they initiated the conversation, asking if you wanted to taste something and offering to explain how different cheese are made. It would feel less like a shopping trip and more like a tourist stop. That is how I recommend you take it. if you want the fun of all that go to one of the other dairies. If you want a place right off the freeway to get some great cheese go here. It is small, but you wont be spending a ton of time. They have some truly great aged cheddar. on weekdays fresh cheese curds. Also other local products. Drop in pick them up and get back on the road.

Just a response to the negative reviews. I know they don’t have a lot of samples out, but if you ask they gladly give you a sample. I stop in quite often and I get a sample when I buy something even if I don’t ask for it. As for the ladies being crabby, I’ve never had that problem. They are always friendly and helpful. I’m not saying it isn’t true, just that it isn’t my experience. Maybe it was very busy when you were there? I know it can get hectic on Sundays. The cheese curds are excellent when they are available, and I also recommend the aged cheddar, especially the 3 and 4 year varieties.

Wish the factory was operating when we visited. The store is small, selection is tiny, and there are no samples. Skip this place.

Great little cheese factory, just a few miles off I-​94. Plenty of yummy, fresh cheese curds — they’ll even throw in some seasoning (taco, Cajun, garlic) if you want.
