Riley-Adk Cheese Co 032

I'll bet you think that this is just another great cheese store.  And, you'd be almost right.  The Adirondack Cheese Company isn't just "a great cheese store" -- it's a fabulous cheese store.  You should definitely stop by when you're in the area.  It's on Route 12 North as you drive through Barneveld, NY.  Just keep your eye out for the big red barn.
