Valley Milkhouse is an artisan creamery producing fresh, soft-ripened and aged cheeses in the Oley Valley. We are inspired by the European cheesemaking tradition. We seek to allow the terroir of the region to shine. Our milk comes from one organic dairy: Berk's County's noteworthy Spring Creek Farm. The Stricker family is a fifth generation dairy family whose mix of Jersey, Ayrshire and Holstein cows are raised on a rotational grazing system as a zero-grain operation. The best milk makes the best cheese! The creamery farmstand is open daily from 9 to 5 April through December. Explore the cheese and learn more at www.valleymilkhouse.com.
