Excellent cheese! The blue cheese crumbles are amazing. They freeze well and allow for larger purchases. We also love the smoked baby swiss cheese. The farm is only a few miles off the highway and is easy to find using Google maps. The staff is friendly and helpful. We were able to have a brief tour of the packing area our…

Impressive hospitality from the entire staff. Everyone was so welcoming. The Maytag Blue is a world-class cheese. The popcorn (grown on-site) was also exceptional. Looking forward to visiting again with the whole family.

I encourage anybody driving on interstate 80 through Newton Iowa to stop in at the Maytag farm. They have some of the best cheeses in the world. Especially the blue cheese and white cheddar, Martha Stewart and Emeril lagasse will only use these cheeses in there recipes. so, stop by and enjoy some of the best cheese you'll ever eat!

An idyllic location with amazing products. If you are concerned about what you eat and how you eat it, check them out. They were such gracious hosts for the Des Moines Metro Opera. If you want a perfect summer farm location for your event, ask them.

My husband and I visited Maytag farms about 15 years ago; it was a chilly November day, but we had a blast once we finally got there. The staff was so cordial; we sat in a lunchroom and watched a video then saw a little of the shop. Then we got to sample cheeses and bought a couple hundred worth more.…

We made the detour from I-80 this holiday season and were not disappointed! The blue cheese is absolutely phenomenal. I have been in heaven the past few days and have already eaten half of the box. Will definitely be ordering more soon. Bravo!
