Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery — Local services in Ellsworth

A very fine dairy coop in some of God's most beautiful countryside, inside an imposing, handsome red brick period building. Getting here is very easy and you won't miss it.

They stock a great variety of cheeses, cheese products, milk and milk products. Of course there is also ice cream and theirs is very very very good. Tastes like it was milked just that morning! You'll also find a range of souvenir and bric-a-brac items well worthy to take home. I don't recall seeing any display of sausages or other meats and was a letdown for me.

Held back one star from my review for one very good reason. There is no place to sit down and rest your feet or eat some of their delicious produce. This is a serious shortcoming because on their Google map profile are some exceedingly beautiful food photos, cooked and grilled and roasted and ready to eat - - posted by the dairy, but impossible to find if you visit. This is deceptive...

I'll start by saying I'm not a big fried cheese curd person especially during a heat wave. However, I've drove past this place a few times now, and I figured I'd finally stop by today while passing through. The gentleman running the stand was friendly and it wasn't too busy since a lot of people were shopping inside first. Make sure to check their Facebook for the hours as it is a seasonal Curd Wagon!

If fried foods aren't your thing, you can also head inside their store for a variety of different goodies and soft...

Stopped here to buy direct for the first time. Love these curds. The people inside the store are super friendly. But, decided to get some deep fried curds at the stand outside the store as I left. The young lady working there on April 28th, 2023 around 4pm was a real snot. Nobody was in line but me. She saw me standing there but continued to just lean against her counter until I politely asked to order curds. She slowly walked over and took the order. She had music blasting in the truck, assuming coming from her phone. Handed me my curds, I said thank you, she rolled her eyes at me and turned around. I don't know if she is actually employed by the creamery or is just a food truck who they let setup shop there. If she does work for you guys, please fire her!!! I still will buy and love your curds. They are the best...
