We went on a day they don't make the cheese. Not alot to see. You see the empty mixing bowls and the cheese on racks. It said they make cheese on Mon., Wed., and Fri. I would say go on those days other wise it's just a little store with cheese and candy for sale.

Enjoyed the visit, saw cheese being made and got to sample all the cheeses. Was definitely worth the stop and prices for the cheese was very reasonable.

Here's a pioneer on-farm processor who makes an excellent cheese. Hard to find outside the Thunder Bay area but well worth a trip to the cheese facility and farm next door, right in the middle of a fertile microclimate ideal for farming. The family is Dutch, like many of the farmers in the area, and they have brought a great... More

Some of the best cheese I have had. I love their garlic curds, best cheese ever. Fresh made on site. And the staff is friendly and the atmosphere makes one want to move out to the country and run a farm!

Thunder Oak Cheese farm is really nice. Last time I went I was probably six. The cheese is the best part, as they have so many varieties. You can get the cheese itself at the cheese farm, Belluz Farms (during berry season), the Farmer's Market (CLE ground, saturdays) and George's Market (on Balsam street). My favorite product is the cheese... More

A modern dairy farm making and retailing cheese near Thunder Bay is a worthwhile stop for anyone from more southern climes! Their cheese is well worth buying!

As I had never seen a cheese factory before this was very interesting to see. The cheese produced there was delicious and a lot of different flavours of gouda. Great Dutch products also.

The Gouda cheese was absolutely amazing! It was kinda disappointing that there wasn't anything else to do besides look at the factory through some windows and buy the cheese. That being said, this is some of the best cheese I've ever had.

The only place in Canada to make authentic Dutch Gooda Cheese with a receipe brought from family in Holland, and milk coming from the Schep family herd, this cheese in so many flavours is unbelievably good. You can order it online by searching for Thunder Oak Cheese Farm. They also have a small Dutch shop that offers our favourites being... More
