Back Forty Cheese Hosts Holiday Open House

Nov 30, 2022

On Saturday December 10th from 10am-4pm, Back Forty Artisan Cheese will be hosting their annual Holiday Open House located at the farm and dairy in the hamlet of Mississippi Station. The festive open house will provide customers with a great opportunity to stock up on some delicious cheese for the holiday season and the Back Forty gift basket is sure to please the cheese lover on your list. As a part of the customer appreciation day they are offering 15% off select cheeses as well as free sampling. Additionally, the shop will also feature a unique selection of locally crafted foods, one of a kind gift items, and cuts will be available of Back Forty’s own grass fed lamb and whey fed heritage pork.

Be sure to visit the Jenna Rose Textile Studio which is situated above the cheese factory and tasting room. Jenna Fenwick, an accomplished artist and screen printer, has just launched her 2022 fall / winter collection which includes some beautiful yet functional pieces of original work ranging from hand bags to pillows. All of her lovely products are hand made, featuring her own screen printed illustrations. For a preview of her work visit www.jennarose.ca.

If you’ve never visited the farm and dairy in the winter you’re in for a treat. The outdoor licensed bistro features a wood fired oven and grill and this year they will be serving a selection of hot and cold beverages alongside their signature Macaroni and Back Forty Cheese. The large outdoor fire pit will be roaring and if weather permits the farm will open their toboggan runs and snowshoe trails which meander along the Mississippi River, fields and forest with snow shoe rentals available.
