Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you. –  Frank Lloyd Wright

Dear Customers,

When the weather is warm and inviting, nothing thrills us more than being outdoors. Now’s the time to sit back and enjoy all the beauty that surrounds us.

If you plan to lounge outside on the patio or go on a picnic, be sure to stock up on all the wonderful foods that are great for outdoors. This means a visit to Herma’s!

Cheese Department – Foods for Outdoors

Lounging outdoors is so much fun, especially when you are lounging with a Cheese and Charcuterie Platter nearby for grazing. We suggest filling your platter with Herma’s Signature Products, Artisan Cheeses, Salami, Baguette Bread, Crackers, Cheesy Biscuits, Anti Pasto, and fruits. These foods are also fun on the go, in a picnic basket.

Cathy says the cheeses and foods mentioned below would be great enjoyed outdoors with port or a glass of wine…
