Central New York Cheese Trail

Become an official trailblazer of the CNY Cheese Trail!

Join us as we taste our way through Central New York’s rich dairy heritage on the Heart of New York Cheese Trail. As of December 2025, the cheese trail has officially transitioned to a mobile passport program, giving visitors and locals a new, fun way to explore our region’s incredible cheesemakers.

The Heart of NY Cheese mobile passport features a lineup of artisan producers across CNY, from goat farms and small-batch creameries to makers known for their curds, spreads and specialty cheeses. Grab your pass and get ready to experience the flavors that define our area’s agricultural roots.

As you check in at participating locations, you’ll earn points toward themed prizes that celebrate your journey along the trail. The best part is that the trail is completely free to join. See below for more information and the full list of participating stops.

PLEASE NOTE:
Most trail locations are self serve honor based farm stores. You might not have the opportunity to always meet the cheesemakers, call ahead to plan accordingly!
