South Dakota Cheese Maker Keeping Delicious Tradition Alive

Dimock Dairy in Dimock, South Dakota can rightfully and proudly proclaim to be South Dakota's oldest cheese plant, opening its doors before I was even a glint in my daddy's eye.

They've been making cheese in their place just south of Mitchell since 1931 to be exact.

The Oldest Cheese Plant in South Dakota

And when a business, any business, but especially a small town business, has been around for 90 years it tells me at least 2 things:

1. They have great people working there, and;
2. They have an incredible product.

Dimock is a producer that is preserving a traditional way of making cheese. They also are focused on using milk from South Dakota producers.

“All our producers live within about 20 miles of the plant,” General Manager Bryce Havlik told Hungry For Truth SD.com.

You can find Dimock's cheese in grocery stores all over South Dakota.

The list of the kinds of the best cheeses you'll ever taste seems almost endless! From aged cheddar to bacon and onion, black pepper to chipotle, Colby, dill, ghost pepper...oh heck, just check the delicious flavors here.

Dimock is smack dab in the middle of South Dakota pheasant country to boot. But why wait until pheasant season for the best cheese in the state? Go ahead and contact them now and you can place your order online, too.

So pass the crackers and let's have a snack!
