Awesome place! We were greeted by a large pig named Sprinkles upon arrival. Although she seems to be lacking I eyesight and hearing at this age, she gave us a warm welcome and took many pictures with us. I am terrible with names, so I cannot recall the name of the human who helped us (I'm clearly an animal lover, lol). Anyways, she said she was raised making cheese and is now in charge. She was wonderfully kind and assisted us in finding some delicious cheese. I had to wait until I arrived home to open my cheese, but it was well worth the wait. Yum!

Cheese, cheese, cheese...how can you go wrong?! Family run, interesting flavors and right on the farm. On my first visit, the great storytelling owner guided us through tasting and even showed us their cheese cave. Second visit and tasting was with her granddaughter who is following in her cheese-making footsteps! Definitely worth the trip to see and buy some cheese. Their big 4-year-old pig Sprinkles likes cheese too :)

Family owned and run cheese-making from cradle to grave. It starts with the cows, who display there on the property. Ms. Brovetto came down from the barn to meet us at the shop. She showed us the cheese-making process in the back and then cut us samples from freshly made cheeses. She had been a nurse for decades, and uses the same care and compassion in making and promoting cheese.She explained that the cheese is made in the style of German tilsiter. [It cannot be called that unless made in that area of Germany.] Some are aged. Others include caraway seeds in the traditional way, dill, black tea, raspberry tea, among other flavors. She said that the cheese is best at room temperature.It was delightful visit that anyone who loves fresh cheese should make.

I met the Brovetto family years ago through a friend of the Brovetto family, and I immediately and very much loved them.Down-to-earth, honest and solidly producing more than good cheese, I am always happy to pay a visit here during my stays in the USA.I have taken the people there and the honest products made with love to my heart and I always take plenty of them with me to Germany.I always feel very, very comfortable and grounded when I am there and also privately with the family. Simply down to earth and lovable. A matter of the heart.

Delicious cheeses in many unique flavors. Both soft and hard cheese. The young lady that runs the place is super sweet to talk to and an absolute pleasure to do business with. Stop by if you are in the area and taste a few and say hi to the pig wandering around on the property! Very reasonable prices and free tastings.

First, bring cash or checks because you are going to want to buy some cheese!The owners of this farm clearly love farming and making cheese. When you arrive if the owner isn't already in the cheese shop she will no doubt make her way down from the farm house in short order to give a tour and explanation of the entire cheese making area and process. After you will undoubtedly be invited to sample every cheese they have in stock so you can decide exactly what you want. The prices are extraordinarily fair and the cheese is magnificent. Keep in mind that all purchases are either cash or check only so be prepared though $10-20 should be plenty unless you want one of each, then bring maybe $50.The cheese is made with the milk from the cow's that are kept on their farm just up the hill from the cheese operation and the family has been making cheese for the last 20 years.Bottom line, if you are in the area (or even if you're not) it is worth making a trip to visit this Catskills gem!

A family run farm, producing the most delicious cheese you can imagine! Wonderful staff always willing to give a tour of their production, many samples to try. A real gem in the Catskills.

Ronald and Corrine are a treasure! They started their farm about 50 years ago and make a German Tilsit cheese. Milk from their own cows. They have an actual cave where they age their cheese. The oldest cheese they call a semi-hard is this reviewer's fav. Texture like a parmesan. Go visit, but call first so they can have time to set out some samples for the best experience.

An amazing place to visit. The traditional cheese is fantastic. The proprietors make the whole experience a lot of fun. We'll definitely be back.

What a fantastic gem. Tucked away in an idyllic corner of Delaware County, Harpersfield Cheese has an incredible selection of Tilset-inspired cheeses, friendly service, samples galore, and tours of the cheese-making facilities and cellar, where hundreds of cheeses await aging perfection. A must visit! The cheeses freeze well and sell for two or three times as much in NYC, so load up!

No joke - some of the best cheese I have ever tasted. The definition of hand crafted artisan food is Harpersfield. Delicious, amazing, and couldn't believe the value buying direct from them.

Make a date to visit the farm and see how it is all done. Go with an empty stomach so you can sample all the varieties. If you see their cheese in another location; grab it. EXCELLENT cheese!
