Cedar Valley is a local cheese factory in Wisconsin. Before I moved to Washington, I had originally lived just a mile or two down the road from the cheese factory. I have fond memories of picking up fresh string cheese and curds on Fridays. Now days the factory seems to have at least doubled in size. They now have a separate building down the road for shipping. The cheese store has also doubled in size, they now offer more than just cheese. They have a little cafe, serving fresh foods and Cedar Crest ice creams. The store also offers many different types of gifts and wines.


The cheese factory takes in milk from around 140 different dairy farms in 8 different counties, which is around 141,000 gallons of milk a day. It takes over 18,000 cows to produce that much milk a day.
Cedar Valley has received the Seal of Excellence Award from the State Fair five times now for their string cheese.
