Great product, but rude online messaging when I asked about a farm tour when on vacation. "No, sorry." would have been enough instead of an "LOL."

Made the mistake of thinking it was a tasting/retail space but they could not have been nicer. Had the cheese later and it was awesome!Wish them the best!

Humbolt fog cheese - absolutely fabolous

During the past several years I have ordered many five pound wheels of cheese directly from Cypress Grove. They always arrived the next day and were fresh and delicious. I only like goat cheese when it's fresh but since I used to eat a slice a day it worked out well. I hadn't ordered for a few months but ordered a five pound wheel last week. When I went to order I discovered I had to go through Goldbelly and that it would take a week to get my cheese, but I ordered it. It arrived yesterday but was so old that it had mold on it and the taste is so sharp neither my husband or I can eat it. It tastes horrible and was a big waist of over $100.! But, expensive lesson learned. I will never order anything from Goldbelly again, which means I can never order your cheese again. I wrote to Goldbelly and they sent me a $15. coupon. I will not be using it. It was both an expensive and disappointing experience.

Absolutely sublime cheese! I first tried Purple Haze, loved it. Then tried Humboldt Fog, and loved it too. Most recently have enjoyed Midnight Moon, and this may be my favorite so far. I have always loved Gouda, and Midnight Moon is without a doubt the most delicious I've ever tasted, truly out of this world! And the fact that all of these are made of goat cheese ~ which tends to be more easily digested and therefore more healthy ~ is an added bonus. Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying all the varieties, but have been so impressed with the ones I have tried, that I was inspired to "share the good news" via this review. Even for those who tend to shy away from goat cheeses, I highly recommend checking out Cypress Grove.

I've only had the Midnight Moon but it is beyond amazing.

They’re a great local company I have never had a cheese from them I haven’t loved!

We are lucky enough to be wine club members at Brooks in Amity, OR and they had a special offer to do a cheese and wine pairing event. We live in a small town but enjoy traveling and have lived in major cities before so being able to ship "experiences" like this is really a treat! Truly this cheese will change your life, or at least the way you taste cheese the rest of your life. The purple Haze: the lavender and caraway flavors are just perfect. I would have never thought to pair those, it works so well. It's way creamier than store bought goat cheese for sure. The little giant: like I imagine a blue cheese brie would taste. The 'bloomy rind" is the best part. It is a bit earthy but that's why I love it, it's more subtle than other stinky cheeses. The fog lights: a bit intense for many bites. It's wonderful to try and sample with a Pinot but I did not have a lot, the mushroom taste is very flavor forward and leaves a spicy aftertaste a while. I will say also that I enjoy them all much more served cold. I know this is a travesty to some, but the texture really gets to me after a while. So if you are turned off by the idea of these cheeses try them cold!!

This cheese is so good! I am living on good bread, local produce, and goat cheese! Thank you all for your dedication. I get a few flavors at a time. They all taste so different. Thank you!

Love the cheese! No shop or store here though, just the factory. We did not call to see about a tour so we did not get in. Not sure where to buy locally.

A close-up of a wedge of Humboldt Fog was my screensaver for the longest time. I remember when I first tried HF (a decade or two ago?) I was just establishing my "cheese legs" when I had a schmear of it on a grainy cracker. The cheese was so delicious it stopped me in my tracks. Ever since I've been a fan of every cheese from Cypress Grove. My favs are the soft ripened varieties including all the Humboldt Fog remixes. The fresh cups are super spreadable varieties that can transform even the most casual cheese courses into something special. I love when I stumble on one I've never tried - it lands in my grocery basket without as much as a second guess. Can't wait for the Chipotle Cacao remix! I can't remember a cheese course I've served without Humboldt Fog - if I had a dollar for every time someone told me I turned them onto HF, I'd have a small fortune. My nephew at 10 years old (some 20 years ago) practically invented the Humboldt Fog burger...the kid added HF on a burger before I did! Love the heck outta you Cypress Grove...keep those HF remixes coming!

Absolutely a must-do cheese stop! We went by without calling, just showed up, and we're able to join a tour with another couple who had done the same thing. We were given a delightful tour by one of the hosts (I want to say her name was Ashley?), who told us all about the origin of Cypress, the cheeseaking process, and the types of cheese. I really enjoyed seeing some of the cheeses aging, and learning about the company (only 70 employees!).
