About Fromagerie La Station

Fromagerie La Station is an organic family farm in Compton, in the Eastern Townships, that makes raw-milk cheeses from its own herd. Its Alfred Le Fermier is a firm, aged cheese that many Quebec cheese lovers know by name. Farming and cheesemaking happen in the same place, which shapes the character of each wheel.

Compton is a lovely stop on a summer or fall drive through the Townships, when farm stands and orchards are busy. Alfred Le Fermier suits a cheese board, a sandwich with good bread, or a gratin. It also makes a solid local gift for someone who likes firm, nutty cheeses.
