Life is Great. Cheese Makes it Better.

Charcuterie for Cheese pageEvery Adams Fairacre Farms location has a Cheese Department and each one is a celebration of the highest form that milk can achieve. We carry so many varieties that choosing your cheese might be a challenge. However, our knowledgeable staff is here to help you enjoy every savory morsel you bring home. Humans have been enjoying cheese for more than 6,000 years. We present a tempting array of exciting new cheeses, as well as mature and satisfyingly aged older varieties.

Take the guesswork out of  hosting and let us create a delicious cheese or charcuterie platter for your next gathering. Visit us in store or Order Online.

Enjoy Hudson River Valley’s nationally renowned cheeses
In the past 20 years, the reputation and quality of our local and regional cheeses has grown exponentially. Hand-crafted, award-winning cheeses are coming from all around our Valley.

We are proud to feature other local artisanal cheesemakers. The Old Chatham Creamery’s sheep’s milk Old Chatham Camembert and Kinderhood Creek are award-winners. Nettle Meadow’s Kunik inspired Esquire magazine to rave, “Kunik. It may very well be the sexiest cheese in the U.S.A.” Come in soon and see what’s new and what’s ripened to perfection, like Chaseholm Camembert from Chaseholm Creamery. Then there’s the wide selection from R&G Creamery, Four Fat Fowl, Jake’s Gouda and McGrath creamery. Our Hudson Valley Cheese pride is always on display.

Many of the world’s finest cheeses can be found at Adams
France, alone, reputedly has over 240 different cheeses and we offer many of the finest examples of the French cheese making art–St. Angel, Fromage D’Affinois, St. Andre, Vacherousse, Roquefort, St. Agur and so many others. British cheesemaking has grown more creative in the past 20 years (even the French love it) and Adams carries classics like Blue Stilton, Cotswald and other exciting new tastes. Shop here for classic Italian cheeses such as creamy blue Dolce Gorgonzola, delicate Taleggio, Grana Padano, aged Provolone, real Parmesan and Romano. Plus, there’s Australian Sheep & Goat Cheese and Old Croc Cheddar, Mexican Queso Fresco and Cotija, Spanish Manchego and Drunken Goat, Dutch Gouda and Beemster. We can’t go on. You’ll just have to come in and see for yourself!

All Adams stores carry these, and many more local, international and artisanal cheeses as well as a selection of pates. Stop by for your favorites or let introduce you to something new!

Produce is where it all began

You may have noticed that whichever Adams Store you enter–the main entrance leads you straight to produce. And every produce item leads you to a nutritious meal. Every member of our staff and the whole Adams family realize that not only was our original farm stand (see History) built around our ability to provide the finest quality produce, it’s also the centerpiece of our modern-day farm stand.

Selecting perfect produce

Our customers want to be able to smell the freshness of the melons (press the stem end and you’ll notice the melon fragrance), or choose an avocado (remove the little stem, if it’s green, it’s getting ripe, if it’s black, it has gone too far) that will be ripe and ready when they need it. In season, the green beans bin gets filled up sometimes eight times a day, or more, because Adams customers know they’re fresh. Because of the Adams family farm history, you’ve got decades of experience on your plate.

So, it’s “with a farmer’s eye” that the produce you see on display is chosen. You’re greeted by row after row of bins, benches and coolers abundantly stocked with beautiful hand-selected fruits, berries, vegetables, herbs, greens, mushrooms, potatoes, squashes, root vegetables, peppers, tomatoes and much more. Be sure to read the produce signs—most provide nutritional information and helpful tips. Our knowledgeable attendants are also on hand to answer any questions you may have. Whether you are looking for pomegranates or plantains, radicchio or romaine, you’ll find it at Adams Fairacre Farms.

Farmers are our friends

Because we began as farmers, we have tremendous respect for the farmers we deal with across our region. When you shop at Adams you’ll learn that our produce has producers who grow responsibly and who put their livelihoods on the line to bring their best from the field to every Adams market. You’ll get to know the names and we regularly tell their stories. More than a little love comes in every bag and basket of produce from Adams.

At every Adams store, there’s a special group that has a lot of happy members. They are the ones who shop at Adams Nursery and from early Spring throughout the year we see thousands of them every day. They may be professional gardeners or landscapers, or they may be couples who love their garden, or homeowners and renters who want to add color and greenery to their outdoor space.
