    Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination…read moreTake a look and you'll see Into your imagination Yes, to me, this place is the cheese equivalent of Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory - cheese, glorious cheese, for your sampling pleasure. And not just any cheese, prize winning cheeses! After gorging ourselves on fruit wine and cheese samples we took our purchases, accompanied by Stryder, the adorable big black poodle farm dog, to their lovely picnic area. It even has a sink for you to wash your hands before you eat, since it is impossible to resist petting all of the baby animals that you encounter along the way. They provide a self-guided tour map for you to explore this working farm with very few limitations. They only ask that they respect their property and that you leave it in the pristine condition that you found it. For those familiar with their cheese products from stores or farmer's markets, this store sells some artisan cheeses that you won't necessarily find in the other stores. Their factory is undergoing a major refurb which will not be complete for a short while so we were not able to do a factory tour but that by no means diminished our visit.

    We brought our little one here to see some farm animals although you can't pet them. She was…read morefascinated with some of them and kept pointing at the goats and cows. One thing that surprised us was that there is a milk dispenser where you bring a 1L bottle to fill up or you can buy a 1L bottle from the farm. You do have to get a token. I'm somewhat lactose intolerant however I was able to drink this milk with no issues. Their cheeses are good so we got some to take home with us.

    Best selection of cheese and specialty deli goods, hands down. Wonderful shop, helpful and…read moreinformative staff. My favourite store in town for gourmet snacks and nibbles (for everyday!). Special shout-out to the heavenly cheese selection and the cute and clean premises. They also have an Italian pork jowl that I can't find anywhere else in town. Considering the rising price of eating out (and junk food), I will get myself some fancy treats here every week instead.

    Although the staff at McLean's was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and I did get hooked by…read morethe nostalgic story of the place, I was kind of unimpressed with McLean's. We got a LOT of stuff there, including crackers, pate, cheeses, jams, and a bunch of other items, all of which sort of flatlined. Now, in McLean's defense, the pate and cheeses were the only things they brought in specifically under their name. And the place was EXTREMELY cute, and they served sandwiches, and the owner was friendly and on premesis, and they'd let you bring wine if you wanted... ...but really, everything flatlined. The fig crackers tasted like prunes. The sheep's brie was overly strong in flavor, almost off-tasting. The porter cheddar tasted like...plain cheddar. The pate was bland. One standout was a cheese (I forget the name) which had a line of gorgonzola down the centre. Really, of everything we bought, this is the only thing I'd consider re-purchasing. Now I don't want to rule this place out based on one trip, but it *was* expensive (some of the crackers and jams were way over-priced) and I *was* disappointed, considering how it's touted around town as being wonderful. I like to support local businesses, so I will be back to purchase a significantly smaller portion of cheese. Till then...

    This was a short drive from our resort in Parksville. The parking lot is a short walk from the…read more"calfe", cheese and wine tasting room, and gift shop. The extensive cheese counter is self serve. We ended up purchasing the fromage fraise cranberry pepper spread and raclette cheese. The wine tasting at Mooberry is free ! (be sure and tip the very nice staff). Ended up purchasing the blackberry wine bottle. All are fruit wines, NOT grape based. The gift store has a lot of specialty gifts as well. The "calfe" serves an amazing grilled cheese sandwich and has many coffee specialty drinks as well. There is an outdoor seating area for visitors as well. WE did not do the farm tour, but did stop by the very friendly, beautiful ponies that like to be petted. They are in the pen just up from the parking lot. if you bring a pets / dog they are expected to be kept just outside the calfe area.

(I don't drink wine.) The farm was clean (by farm standards), the animals were friendly, and the people even more so. Little Qualicum Cheeseworks has a small shop on the farm where you can try and buy many different cheese types. We loved the brie most, but also liked the Oo La La Hot Jill. We bought the brie as well as Gooseberry wine, Mango Curry Topping for cheese, and German Chocolate cookies. All delicious. Make a trip to Little Qualicum Cheeseworks, even just to try (and inevitably buy) the cheese!
