Handcrafted cheeses, fresh-baked goods, and locally sourced groceries — all gathered in one warm, welcoming shop right in the heart of Amherst.
40+ Artisan Cheeses
From local & national creameries
Every product in our shop is chosen with care — whether it's a wheel of aged cheddar from a nearby farm or a loaf of sourdough baked that morning.
Over 40 varieties from small-batch creameries across New England and beyond — from creamy bries to bold aged goudas.
Crackers, breads, and pastries baked fresh daily — the perfect companions for our cheese boards and charcuterie spreads.
Olives, preserves, oils, vinegars, and specialty items — everything you need to turn an ordinary evening into something memorable.
Ready-to-serve boards assembled by our experts — perfect for hosting, gifting, or treating yourself without the guesswork.
We partner with local farmers and producers to bring you the freshest seasonal offerings from the Pioneer Valley and beyond.
From intimate gatherings to corporate events — we create custom cheese and food spreads that make any occasion unforgettable.
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.
