Frisian Farms Cheese House — Local services in Oskaloosa

The younger gentleman working was a total chipper customer service friendly individual. I believe he said his boss/uncle was away for the day and he was by himself along with a nice older lady who had a cool sunflower shirt on that had stopped in to check on the young man.

Loved shopping at Frisian Farms Cheese House today with my husband and my sister--wish the store were located closer to our home town Omaha! Two lovely young ladies gave us the tour and answered all our questions about their cheese making process.
