We are officially the only small licensed Grade A Bottling plant in South Dakota! Finally, after surviving a pandemic, we are bottling on the farm! April 2021 (only about a year delayed) we proudly started selling farm fresh milk at our little Farm Store, and now we are getting the milk out closer to you into some retail locations! Our cheese is holding strong, and we are adding new flavors and kinds all the time. The 18-hole Mini-Golf course is up and running (July 31, 2021). Playground and petting zoo are open! And we have hosted everything from birthday parties, to company picnics, to 4-H meetings, to school tours, and more! Contact us or come visit!

 

HISTORY:

Valley Side Farm is an 8th generation family farm established in 1873. Along with farming, making fresh artisan cheese with no added preservatives has been what Valley Side Farm Cheese, LLC, has carefully perfected over the last number of years. Kris Swanson and her husband Scott have decided to pass their knowledge, experience and proprietary recipes on, selling their cheese making business to Farm Life Creamery, LLC in 2018.

​

Gary and Amy Blase each grew up on dairy farms and started their married life with a dairy of their own in 1972. Eldest son, Chad Blase, and Laura Klock, came on board a few years ago to help the family farm adapt to the changing dairy industry. In the process, they discovered Valley Side Farm Cheese, and Chad and Laura have been making artisan cheese since!

 

The family plans to add yogurt and ice cream soon!
