| Sweetwater Valley Farm |
| This beautiful dairy farm is located between Loudon and Philadelphia, TN. It is not too far from Mayfield Dairy. They milk the cows and produce delicious farmstead cheese on site. Educational tours are available on a regular basis. During that tour you are able to see the farm, see cows up close, see the cows being milked, see calves, and learn about the general workings of the dairy farm. You may also watch a short film about the making of their cheese, and can view their cheese making facility. Many trays of their delicious cheeses are available for sampling. You may even learn about genetics from the farm owner himself, who sometimes joins the tours. |

 | | Steph M. - East TN, Co-op Member | | Touring this facility was so much fun! My children & I learned so much about how a dairy farm is ran & process that the cows go through before being milked. And the best part was getting to taste all the different cheeses that they offer! We all cannot wait to go back again to see what else we can learn! |
