Say Cheese!

Head over to Tootsie Time to see everyone's flowers!


If you love cheese...and lets face, who doesn't?...be sure to visit
Hilmar Cheese Factory if you're ever in the vicinity.



It was one of our yummiest stops.
It is the world's largest single-site cheese and whey products manufacturing facility. The have the prettiest visitor center, inside and out.
It was still decorated for the holiday's when we visited.


There is a self guided tour of the factory with windows so you can see it in action along with lots of interesting factoids and hands on attractions.
And while there you must visit Daisy!


The grounds are just gorgeous.
They include waterfalls,
small...


and large....


that you can walk under...


bridges too!



Lovely gardens...




and interesting figures.


My daughter, friend and me.


I'm linking up with Tootsie Time for Fertilizer Friday.

  2. How fun...I love to visit places such as this...we in WI have the best cheeses also...Colby being a favored one...the little town of Colby that the cheese was first made and named after, being just down the road from me...I love the waterfall that you could walk under, mysterious things happen there, I'm sure. Thanks for visiting me. Come again.
    A fun post
    Blessings Be Yours

  5. Wow, that looks like quite a place. I love cheese, but I'm not all that adventurous with really funky cheeses. Give me a good havarti or cheddar and I'm a happy girl.
