    07/08/23: We stopped by this location after the Tillamook Creamy Company for local cheese discovery. I was impressed with their special smokey and pepper cheese. They are good and delicious. The parking is ample with a small ranch in front of the entrance. They also have a huge chilling area right outside the store. I enjoyed my visit here and would recommend everyone to visit

    We really enjoyed this. It is not just a place to stop to eat but an entire experience. Great deli sandwiches and opportunities to shop a full cheese and meat market. Lots of gourmet foods, a candy and ice cream shop, fountain drinks, etc. There is a beautiful outdoor space where you can just sit surrounded by lush plants and wild lavender. We brought a bottle of wine and drank it with our sandwiches outside. Great spot!

    Very cool place. A little of everything. Great sandwiches and amazing variety of beverages including non alcoholic. It's like a combination coffee shop, wine tasting, restaurant, icecream, candie/truffle, gift shop and a whole bunch more. Unreal variety of jams and just stuff everywhere. It was a great experience until we were leaving to pay. That's the reason for four stars. I mean literally one young lady at the cashier's cubicle who also was in charge of desserts and ice cream with a line 27 people long. We were literally in line for 23 min. It was definitely a buzz killer. This was a Tuesday so hopefully they are better staffed on Fri Sat Sun.

    There is so much thought and care put into creating this adorable place! The happy little animals stole my heart (miniature donkeys!) and feed is available for $1. Inside, is a french themed cafe and wine tasting area. The toasted, turkey and bacon pesto sandwich was so incredible that I devoured it without taking a pic. The wines (especially the whites) were excellent. There were plenty of little cheese samples and lots of other goodies to load up on. I'm so glad I didn't miss this stop!

    It was a nice little place we went when it was about to close so everything was closing down but we got to walk around the little shop and they had local food you could buy. They also had a deli and candy shop in the store, sadly the deli was closed. They had some unique pop we have never tried so we got a bottle of that and it was good. Beside the building there was a petting zoo which was a neat experience, so if you have little kiddos they will love it

    Great place to stop if you're traveling through. Family friendly petting zoo. Wine tasting, gifts, local sundries. Outside and inside seating available with great views. Everything was rather commercial/touristy. Prices a little high but as expected. Cool little candy store too. Ample parking even for large vehicles.

    Very nice cute place to take kids. They have a small petting zoo and you can buy feed for $1. They have a candy place for kids wine tasting for adults, outdoor seating is nice in the evenings and they have a food cart onsite. Plus there are vintage farm machines all over the site, which gives it a nice rustic feel. If you have an RV you can park here overnight.

    If the Tillamook Creamery is too packed, you can head here, just down the street from them. The place has gone through some renovations and is much more relaxed. They also have some live animals in front that you can feed. The have some of the cheeses, as well as wine tasting, food, and some ice cream. The place also has a great outdoor seating area.

    Definitely a cool place to visit. Would recommend to stop and just hang out and look around. Extra fun with some of the birds that live their that walk around freely. Definitely try the wine selection. They have some sampler planks to choose from. Reasonable on prices.

    PETTING ZOO! This was such a fun place for my son. He got to feed the animals and see lots of old vehicles. My wife and I liked the wine tasting. This place as something for everyone. The staff are very nice and they have a lot of unique foods and gifts. Definitely a great stop on a road trip.

    We are so glad we found this gem. We turned around when attempting the crowds that were pushing out the door at Tillamook. Now it’s just where we go. Our kids love petting and feeding the animals and nostalgic candy store. My wife and I love sitting with a Bree and wine flight. It’s such a great place to relax take a break. We usually stop here when we travel from Lincoln City to Astoria, the back to Portland.

    Amazing samples of fresh cheese, syrups, and wine! Cute little gift shop as well. There’s also a deli, wine tasting area, and fresh chocolate truffles/fudge available. The farm animals are super friendly and loved coming up for pets and food. Would highly recommend for anyone honestly. Makes a perfect little stop if you’re staying near Tillamook or driving through!

    Cozy place with delicious food. A lot of stuff for sale, from souvenirs to pantry and pastries. They have pet farm also. I will go back for wine tasting soon. Try the grilled turkey sandwiches, they are awesome.

    Everything I had here was worth the price, expensive, and well worth the price. And their environment, all the wonderful Critters, beautifully kept facility, a real treat. I hope they provide their employees a living wage and benefits, if so, extremely well done. Thank you. James

    Awesome place to stop!! Even though they are a Harvest host anyone in a van or RV can stay in their dry camping RV park for free for 2 days!!!! Don't forget to buy something nummy to say thank you!!! They are pricey but you'll find something unique you'll like! Animals in petting zoo are adorable 🥰!!! Beautiful flowers in the courtyard and cool old trackers to look at too!! I will be back!!!

    Stayed here in our RV and it was great! Why spend your money at a state park when you can stay here for free and spend it on wine and cheese??? The shop is lovely and the staff are great. Get yourself a wine tasting and buy some cheese! One thing to imporve on... stronger coffee in the morning!

    Although I'd only ever been to the more famous cheese factory just down the road this is my new favorite place, the other place closed early for a private party so instead I came here and fell in love. There's so much charm here, between old farm equipment people flock to for pictures, to the candy shop, to the petting zoo. The gift shop is adorable and I was told by an employee that it is locally owned by very nice people. At first I chose to come here to spite the other cheese factory, as did others since the employee said they were more busy than usual, but I'm so glad I did because it's absolutely lovely.

    This is a unique place worth visiting. There are livestock such as cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep, so it's good for children to see them, and it's a place where you can buy wine tasting places, souvenir cheese candy, etc. There is also a food truck that sells food and you can dine at a picnic table in a well-appointed garden. It's just that the price is a little high, but it's good to take pictures so recommend this place

    We came because of Harvest Host but I also wanted a public review. We have been wanting to stop and finally did! What a fantastic spot! Great cheese, customer service and a beautiful view for overnighters. They have an entire gift store, patio, tons of food options and treats including ice cream. Do a wine tasting and pair some cheeses 🍷🧀 I look forward to coming back for a visit! Oh! And say hi to the animals 🐐🐓🦙🐄🪿 #TeamShinemeyer

    Nice place to stop by, grab some food and do some shopping or just look around. They have a nice selection of wines, some good looking chocolates and very interesting merchandise, like, not the expensive useless souvenirs you often see in stores like this but actual very interesting, thoughtful and useful stuff, mostly funny or cute. There is also a lil petting zoo outside with some cool very active creatures.

    First time stopping in here! It was well worth it. It isn't as grand or big as the one up the street, it was fun to walk around the store to check out all the goodies and have some laughs. Quite the variety of cheeses, wasn't paying attention in the store but did notice they didn't have an overabundance of Blue Heron items. We found some anchovy olives from Spain and that made it well worth it for us. The only downfall of the store is the employees were not overly friendly or chatting to those of us in the store walking around. The petting area was peaceful. Looking at the old vehicles they have and an old double decker bus. They even have dry camping RV spots. It is well worth the stop off. Most will love just visiting with the animals. What stress relievers.

    Nice place to visit. More of a gift shop than a cheese store. Lots of gifts and local sausages, cheeses and such. They even have wine tasting. But no cheese samples. The Blue Heron Company only makes Brie. So all other cheeses are made elsewhere. Looks like there's a deli where you can order sandwiches. They have a candy shop next door with all types of sweets. A nice outdoor area with picnic tables and gathering areas. And a petting farm. It's a nice stop and less busy than the Tillamook Creamery.

    Really fun place to stop and try wine and cheese. Lots of fun things to buy. My favorite cheeses were the havarti with dill and smoked brie. The pepper brie was good too.

  • 5/5 Kimberly H. 1 year ago on Google
    We really enjoyed our time in the gift shop. We had samples of smoked Brie, and othe local products as well as wine tasting! Highly recommend stopping here. We purchased herb Brie, blue cheese dressing, dill mustard and had a picnic on the grounds. I also petted a sheep and saw all the other cute farm animals! :)

    It's fun to go here, there's always alot to see and do. The animals are very funny, it's very entertaining to feed them, and the feed is enexpensive, so you can get alot. I love the decorations, the outside area has so many beautiful flowers, and the shop has so many cool things! I can't wait to come back here soon!

    Kids had the best time and so did we. We stayed two nights with harvest host membership. The food was perfect and so many local oregon items from beer, wine to even carpet for sale from PDX airport. Staff is super sweet and very happy people.

    The food was delicious and wine tasting was nice. Kids had a fun time feeding the farm animals and visiting the candy shoppe.
