Our Story

A passion for good food and good company

Cora's Cowgirl Creamery started with a simple belief: that everyone deserves access to extraordinary cheese, baked goods, and specialty foods — without stepping foot outside Amherst.

What began as a small passion project grew into the town's favorite destination for cheese lovers, food enthusiasts, and anyone who believes that what you eat matters. Every product on our shelves tells a story — about the farmers who raised it, the artisans who crafted it, and the community that supports it.

We source from local dairy farms in the Pioneer Valley and from trusted creameries across the country, ensuring that every wheel, wedge, and cracker meets our exacting standards for flavor, quality, and sustainability.
