Humbird Cheese Mart

Really great ice creams, cheddar cheeses at varying ages (1 – 9 years), other cheeses and combo’s you can sample, jams, salsas, fudge, caramels, souvenirs, popcorn and more! We sampled the white cheddar with cranberry and had to buy it! Plain cheddar slab of 3-​year age was our choice. Hubby got the LadyBug flavor ice cream and loved it! Mine was root beer sherbet swirled in vanilla ice cream — wow! Location is about 2 minutes off of I-​94/​90 merge in Tomah, Wisconsin.

What is there to say. They have all the cheese and edible goodies you could want, and enough knick knacks to merit a stop by even the flashiest of grandmas. We love it there.

For selection; this place wins! Stopped here on our way to the Dells. What a great shop!
So many different kinds of cheese to choose from, along with summer sausages, pickles, and other gift shop kinda stuff.
Debating back and forth between a few different sausages. Wound up choosing the Stoneridge pit smoked garlic sausage. It was amazingly good. That smoky flavor won everyone over and me wishing I had bought a few more. Might have to stop on the way back home.
I also picked up some door county pickle spears which wre equally good. Pickles can be hit and miss. These were tasty.
My parents had us covered in the cheese curd department. One dill and one white cheese. Squeaky and fresh and gone real fast.
Interesting selection of products. Even my husband found something of interest. Between all the cheese, meat, cheese hats, sweatshirts, candy etc, this place is worth a stop.
Nice bathrooms
Friendly staff
Great selection of meat and cheese.

So many cheeses to choose from and they will give you a slice of anything you want to try! Ghost pepper, chicken soup, garlic, blueberry — they carry an interesting assortment of flavors in addition to standard aged cheddars. They also have a wide variety of local confections, crackers to go with the cheeses and dip mixes. I think if I could wish for anything more at this shop, it would be for some tasty crusty bread to spread the cheeses on and a bigger selection of drinks, mostly sodas, sweet teas and coffees. Local beers and wines would be great!

I’ve stopped here several times. There’s always a good selection of cheese, and they have a gift shop with a ton of different souvenirs. Nice people working there. At the end of the cooler, they have a small snack bag with cheese and some processed meat. If you get an apple or a banana, it makes a great lunch.
The location is a good stop because you can get gas, fireworks, cheese, and hit an antique mall, all without moving your car.

I don’t care if you hit all the cheese shops in WI, you still need to make a stop here. It’s the best one I’ve come across. I think it was my favorite stop on the trip home. If you spent a little over $ 100.00, you restrained yourself. The décor is black and white cow theme, including the roomy bathroom right in front. You buy more on an empty bladder. Next stop is the open display of cheese, with some super friendly folks asking you more then once if they can help you. We did a little stocking up on cheese and meats for Easter, unopened lasts 6 months. They sell all the accessories for cheese. They have the cutest things in miniature including food items. Up and down are aisles of condiments, jellies, syrups, etc. I even brought back a few little snack bags for the fish fry group. Then there’s more refrigeration of meat, more cheese, bottled sodas. I found a new brand of rootbeer, Hank’s. I start to check out, and at the counter is the most unusual bar of dark and white chocolate, back to the cow theme. If you’re on your way home, and are planning a party, stock up here.

Cheesy and touristy, and they also sell cheese. A very good selection of Wisconsin cheeses, but be careful if you’re looking at anything else in the shop. It’s not all about Wisconsin there. They had jerkey from Oregon for sale (prepacked, not the slabbed jerkey in the cooler unit), and even though there are heaps of cranberry bogs right around the shop, the crandberry chocolates were from New England. A good place to pick up bric-​à-​brac too. The selection of summer sausages was also nice.

A robust selection of cheeses and a robust selection of kitschy souvenirs. In short, Humbird is exactly what it is supposed to be.
If you are, say, taking a cross country roadtrip and stopping at as many cheese shops in Wisconsin as you can, make Humbird one of them.

Yeah this is a cool little cheese shop. Looks a lot bigger from the outside but I’m guessing this is where they make their cheese so maybe half the store is off limits. The best thing about this place? They make maybe 30 – 40 different cheeses and you can taste any one of them before buying. Yep, even their 12 aged old cheese-​which is fantastic btw. So is their brick cheese. They even have a ghost pepper jalapeño cheese which scorched my mouth pretty good.
So definitely swing on by and try a dozen different cheeses.

Great cheese! Lots of different kinds — the extra spicy ones are the best. Very helpful staff and lots of extra goodies like delicious popcorn and fudge! :)

Humbird is a fun way to spend a break from driving on I-​94. They have lots of local and regional products, tons of different cheeses and sausages, etc. You can get candy, crackers, chocolate and loads of little gifts (magnets of Connecticut: what?).
Basically it’s a great way to support local farmers and the local economy, so buy stuff here instead of at a gas station.

Enormous selection of cheese, snacks, and touristy kitsch. The staff is friendly and helpful. I guarantee you will walk out with something delicious, I recommend the pepperoni cheese. So good!

How fun is this place?
I picked it from the plethora of cheese shacks throughout Wisconsin… hey why don’t we have cheese shacks in every state? But I digress.
There is a huge selection of cheese. I went with cheese curds as well as the smoky string cheese. The smoked cheese had just the right amount of smoke. That flavor combined with the salt gave it an addictive almost irresistable quality. I could eat it by the pound.

A must-​do while in Tomah! This über touristy store carries a great selection of Wisconsin cheeses, sausage, candy and other treats. You can also be sure to find any sort of Wisconsin related souvenir trinkets like shot glasses, magnets, coffee mugs, etc. The staff is very friendly and will gladly oblige sample requests for cheese or ice cream. Any time I’m in Tomah, I stop and pick up some cheese fudge (aka chocolate cheese) and cheese curds. YUM!

I just love cheese houses! And, the Humbird Cheese Mart has fabulous Caraway Havarti and very helpful staff (as well as clean bathrooms). This combination makes for a wonderful pit-​stop during a roadtrip. Oh, and they also have a wonderful selection of «cheesy» Wisconsin items and ice cream.

I have to stop at this Cheese place every time I am in Tomah. The customer service is fantastic and they have lots of other things other than cheese. Great for housewarming gifts or nick-​nacks for your own home. I don’t leave this place without a bag of cheese curds and a package of Lefsa.

I’ve been buying cheese from Humbird’s for almost 30 years now. The first time I visited they were still in the old building. My wife grew up in the area and whenever we come back to visit relatives, a stop at Humbirds is mandatory. I’m also on their mailing list and have cheese shipped to me every year (they only ship fall-​winter). As for the person complaining about lack of samples, they have always offered a sample of any cheese I asked to sample, Their 3 year cheddar is my favorite!

Decent selection of Wisconsin cheeses. A lot of the standard boring cheddar selection… but a few that are a bit unusual. Picked up a morel cheddar and a raw goat milk cheddar. The morel cheddar turned out to be fairly boring.
We picked up some pretty great bratwurst here. The bratwurst are the only thing I’d go back for.
They had a huge thing of Amish butter that was pretty cheap.
They have ice available if you need.
It’s right off the highway if you’re traveling northbound. However, traveling southbound the exit is actually a ½ mile before the road this place is on, then you take a road or two to get here. You can get right back on the highway going southbound though.
Bathrooms were beyond disgusting … One of those pee standing 5′ from the toilet scenarios to avoid standing in a puddle of pee.

This place is great! The staff is all very friendly and they have an excellent selection of cheese, summer sausage and fudge. You can also try any of the cheeses they have there. I can recommend the 4-​year-​old swiss, the 5-​year cheddar, but my favorite was the smoked butterkase. They won’t ship during summer, so I have a while to wait to get some back in California!
