We were excited to visit Burnett Fairy Cooperative on our way back down to the Twin Cities from the…read moreNorth Shore to pick up some fresh cheese and delicious snacks. We originally stopped by the location up in Duluth, but we opted to wait until going to their main factory in Grantsburg before purchasing anything. This location of Burnett Dairy Cooperative is basically an entire complex, with a gas station and convenience store, all the milk storage tanks easily within view, the corporate offices and factory, and then this store filled with tons of different dairy products from all over Minnesota and Wisconsin. It was an absolute madhouse walking in at 2PM - it was so crowded inside there was barely any room to even walk around and browse. I'm honestly not sure why they are so popular. We especially wanted to order the fried cheese curds since their old menu stated they were made with fresh Burnett Dairy curds, battered and fried in house. Well, that's no longer the case. They now get their cheese curds from a supplier and it isn't made from Burnett Dairy curds, according to the cashier that I talked to. Oh well, the next best thing? Ice cream! We went up to the ice cream station, lined up for a while, and then learned that, nope, they don't make their hard scoop ice cream either. It's from Cedar Crest. They also don't make their own soft serve base! The only thing they do is churn a mix from an external supplier in their machine. Seriously? If I'm looking at a random drive-in or candy shop, or a middle of nowhere ice cream shop, sure use Sysco or other commercial food supplier. But this is a dairy cooperative we're talking about! They should be making their own products! As insult added to injury - for our fourth option we wanted to try the fresh cheese curds. They sell them for $6.99/lb, freshly packaged up on a table right near the check out registers. Unfortunately the bags were all around 1lb and we didn't want to commit to such a large package. Luckily we saw that one of the employees was bagging up more fresh cheese curds in the back. We asked if we could get a half pound and they said no, the minimum was one pound! No samples either! I really don't understand this store. This is a dairy cooperative that doesn't seem to make 90% of the items that they sell in the store. Our visit was definitely a huge let down. We actually went on a long detour to visit this store and ended up not purchasing a single item. Bathrooms - Larger ones, crowded and dirty

The smell of smoke is the first thing that hits you when you walk through the door to the place followed by the sight of all kinds and cuts of meat: Pork, beef, jerked, smoked, ground... the list goes on and on. Sort of like a Disneyworld of butchered meats. My coworker busied himself with his list of items he was looking for while I walked around the long butcher case with tons of freshly prepared meat items: sausages, ground meats, smoked meats, bacon... oh man I really wished I lived near this place. Since I was traveling and had no way to store these things, I settled for some pork jerky and took it home - it was amazing. I do not believe that they have an online shipping / ecommerce capability so I will have to plan ahead if I ever get back up in that area. Definitely worth a trip if you are anywhere near Pierz.
