the friday feed: grandpa's cheese barn

Just off of I-71 in Ashland Ohio, you will see signs for Grandpa's Cheesebarn, a premier destination for meats, cheeses, sweets and more. Founded in 1978, Grandpa’s Cheesebarn has beckoned travelers for decades. Not surprisingly, the Cheesebarn’s selection of cheese is phenomenal. The store carries about 200 varieties of cheese, and many of the domestic cheeses come from Ohio’s Amish Country.

On our last visit to Cleveland we stopped by Grandpa's Cheesebarn to buy some Christmas gifts. The employees encourage samples of any cheese you want to try and one we tried was called Steakhouse Onion Soup. It was a bite of French onion soup and of course we bought some to take home. Grandpa's private label pickles are delicious and we like the sweet hot habanero pickles. Stopping here is not a quick trip. So much to see and sample. We savor the experience!





Quirky Ohio

Lots of shopping fun!

  1. I do regret no longer being able to eat cheese. One of life's wonderful indulgent pleasures.

  2. I haven't been there in years. It has expanded, when we first started stopping there, they were still in the basement of the barn. Fond memories.

  3. What a great looking place and that cheese you bought sounds delicious. I wonder if I could find some around here.
