Stonetown Artisan Cheese is a purveyor of Swiss<br />
mountain-style cheeses, hand-crafted by master<br />
cheesemaker Ramon Eberle. Using unpasteurized<br />
milk from farmers Hans and Jolanda Weber’s<br />
herd of Holsteins, Eberle uses raw milk so that the<br />
cheese ripens as naturally as possible while the<br />
flavours improve with maturation. Cheeses and<br />
other local products are available to buy on-site<br />
at the farm store. Guided group tours are $5 per<br />
person (60–90 minutes for a minimum 15 people).<br />
