Give the gift of cheese this Christmas! Stop by our on-farm retail store or check out our online cheese shop!

10 Reasons to Shop Local This Christmas
1. Shopping Local supports our local economy. For every $100 spent in a locally owned store, $45 stays within the local economy and circulates through other local businesses creating jobs and positive economic development. 

2. Small local businesses have access to unique local products that make great gifts for that special someone in your life. Supporting  local businesses helps diversify our local economy by encouraging more entrepreneurs and more unique businesses.

3. Shopping local supports local charities. Local businesses support local organizations and charities that you depend on through their donations. Without your support, local businesses can’t help all the local philanthropic agencies that come calling. With your support, local businesses give back and help local causes.

4. Shopping local creates jobs. Small businesses are the nation’s largest employer, and according to the US Census Bureau, they create over 90% of all net new jobs. By supporting local small businesses, you create and retain jobs in our local area.

5. Supporting local business establishes our community leaders. What do most of our local elected officials have in common? They are small business owners or work as management within entrepreneurial style businesses. 

6. Supporting local businesses creates the community that we want to see. When you spend money at a local business, you increase building occupancy rates, help establish new businesses and create vibrant local retail, service, restaurant and entertainment options. Local businesses reinvest the money you spend with them to help create a better local economy.

7. Local businesses support other local businesses. When you spend your money with a local retailer, they spend money with a local advertiser, their local accountant, a local bank, the local office supply store, local product suppliers and much more.

8. Shopping local is green. Less money spent on fuel and packaging means a lower carbon footprint. Less time in the car means more time with family, friends and enjoying life.

9. Shopping local supports local schools, infrastructure and services. The property and sales taxes generated through local businesses pay our local teachers, fire fighters, police and support local roads and other infrastructure. When you shop local, you are literally helping to build our community.
​
10. Shop local because we have many great local businesses that want to help you have a wonderful Christmas season. There is nothing quite like running into your friends and family as you shop your home town, and buying things from people that know and care about you. This holiday season, do more than just shop local. Invite your out of town friends and family to shop our community, and let’s have a wonderful Christmas season here in our rural community!

Cheese is one of my favorite ingredients. I really enjoy the sticky and moist taste of a cheese. The best kind of cheese is a melted one. You can really feel the melting sweet and salty combination of a cheese. I will surely buy my loved ones in one of the places you suggested.

It's where the youth is gone - when you start to have a 'favorite shop' near your home) I'm the same. I do also have a preferred shop. I do also hate making buying in the big marts. I always forget about a lot of thing there and buy a lot of useless stuff instead.
