Open Farm Days | The Old School Cheesery

Open Farm Days | The Old School Cheesery in Vermilion’s Lakelands region invites visitors to explore farmstead cheesemaking and taste fresh artisan cheeses. Set inside a beautifully restored historic schoolhouse, this family-run cheesery showcases how locally sourced milk is transformed into handcrafted dairy products. Guests can walk through the production space, see traditional methods in action, and learn how small-batch techniques shape flavour and texture. During Alberta Open Farm Days, visitors can meet the cheesemakers, ask questions, and sample cheeses that highlight Alberta’s local food scene. The experience offers an authentic glimpse into rural life, connecting travellers to the people, stories, and care behind every wheel of cheese.
