Your local grocery store may have a number of cheeses that you’ve grown used to purchasing during your weekly grocery run, but upstate New York provides a unique opportunity to go straight to the source. Dozens of farms across New York are producing high-quality cheeses that will make your mouth water, and cheese always tastes better when it’s made through natural processes. Many of these farms also have their own cheese shops. Here are a few of our favorites.
