Lively Run Dairy is one of the longest operating commercial goat dairies in the country, beginning production in 1982 in Interlaken, NY. We are pioneers of goat cheese in the United States domestic market. We produce small-batch, hand-made artisanal goat and cow cheeses that are inspired by the Finger Lakes region. Our milk comes from known, sustainable sources and each batch is crafted carefully by hand. Come visit Lively Run Dairy to taste our cow and goat cheeses, visit our goats, attend a goat yoga class, buy local products from our farm store, and learn about how we make our cheese.
The goat experience and the charcuterie boards were amazing!!!! My kids especially loved the cats! Pickles and cheddar bay biscuit!

We stopped by on a whim while on our way to dinner. It was definitely worth the stop. We wondered through the barn, saw some goats, and had a cheese sample tasting. If we had a cooler and ice with us we definitely would have left with some cheese!

AWESOME experience. Staff so friendly (including the animals). Incredibly fair priced cheese tasting and cheese in general. Absolutely recommend if you are in the area
