Guggisberg Cheese

· Charm, OH

Why you should go…

Guggisberg has made Swiss-style cheese in Ohio's Amish Country since the 1950s and is credited with creating Baby Swiss. Visitors can watch cheesemaking through a factory viewing window, sample and buy cheese in the shop, and eat at the adjoining chalet restaurant. It sits along State Route 557 near the Guggisberg Swiss Inn.

Good to know

General shopping guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Vendor hours are their own thing

    Market stalls and independent sellers keep shorter hours than the building around them, and quiet days end early.

  • Bring a tote and a little cash

    Smaller sellers do not all take cards, and bags are rarely free.

  • Weekdays browse, weekends buzz

    Pick the weekday for a proper look at the shelves and the weekend for the atmosphere.

  • Ask about shipping

    If something will not survive the suitcase, plenty of sellers will send it home for you.
