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.
Heaven on Earth. We got to try several delicious cheeses, I was very impressed with the bucheron which I decided to buy to take home. We visited with the goats and enjoyed our tasting on the porch with the company of some alleged cheese thievin kittens.

Love this place! The cheese is absolutely delicious (and goat cheese is great for you). Lisa in the cheese shop is super knowledgeable and friendly.
