Love the MSU cheese store. We buy cheese every year......and we also buy a bunch for Christmas gifts. They'll ship it wherever you want. Only thing keeping at a 4 star is that the process seem to be climbing rapidly

Last day of moving my daughter, bf and their bff in apt. I introduced MAFES store to them. They loved the ice cream and cheese I purchased. Friendly staff.
Begun in 1938, the famous “cannon ball” Edam cheese, has endured as an MSU symbol for more than 80 years! F.H. Herzer introduced the first Edam, an artisan cheese that would soon become an infinite part of MSU tradition.
The story of MSU cheese is much bigger than Edam. It begins at the Bearden Dairy Research Center where Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station (MAFES) staff milk up to 200 cows, twice daily, 365 days a year.
Our Custer Dairy Processing Plant churns out 5,500 pounds of butter per year, and about 1,300 gallons of milk are delivered each day! Milk is pasteurized and homogenized to produce 2 percent (reduced-fat) white milk, and whole chocolate milk.
About 25,000 gallons of ice cream are produced each year
