What to Expect When Visiting the Cheese Trail Right Now
Homegrown in Oxford County? As things begin to open up, exploring your backyard is a wonderful way to stimulate your local economy and appreciate your roots. Oxford County if full of wonderful experiences, heritage and amazing flavours.
The Oxford County Cheese Trail combines all of these things! This page lists all of our Oxford County Cheese Trail partners that are currently open in an easy-to-use chart that notes the capacity by which they are open, their hours and more. While we’ll do our best to keep it as up-to-date as possible, it’s always best to call individual businesses before heading out to ensure they’re open and ready for you.
Please note, many businesses have altered their open hours so it is best to check with them before heading out. Finally, due to COVID-19, the regular samples you find along the trail may be limited.
