About Glengarry Fine Cheese
Glengarry Fine Cheese makes European-style cheeses on the Peters family's ancestral farmland near Lancaster, in South Glengarry. Founder Margaret Peters Morris began making cheese from farm milk in the early 1990s, built a supply business for farmstead and artisan cheesemakers, and opened the cheese plant in 2008. The cheeses are made from milk from a neighboring herd of Brown Swiss cows, in both conventional and organic lines, and aged in European-designed rooms. The company counts more than 30 awards.
The shop sells the cheeses the plant is known for. Lankaaster is a Dutch-style loaf sold as Traditional, semi-firm and mild, or Aged, firm and dense with a butterscotch color. Celtic Blue is a soft, creamy, mild blue, and Celtic Blue Reserve is made richer with extra cream. In the posted 2026 shop prices these run about $11.49 to $12.99 per wedge.
Besides cheese, the shelves carry local honey, maple syrup, jelly, meats and crackers, enough to put together a picnic board on the spot. A separate cheesemaking supply business on the same site serves home and professional cheesemakers. Online cheese orders ship only from September to May.
Loulou Lavender near Williamstown is about 12 minutes away, a short drive for a cheese-and-lavender afternoon in Glengarry.
