Giveaway: September Farm Sampler

As of Nov 14, 2017, this giveaway is closed.

Confession: I do love a good cheese, a good family, and a good story. All three come together in the business I’m promoting today: September Farm Cheese.

If you live near Lancaster County, you already know about September Farm. Their beautiful store is the place to stop for amazing fresh cheese, sandwiches, ice cream, and more. But did you know you can buy September Farm products from their webstore and have them shipped to your doorstep?

The Rotelle family has been involved in food production for four generations. In 2007, Dave and Roberta established September Farm Cheese, using milk from their own excellent dairy to produce the finest quality cheese.

Since then, September Farm has become ever more widely known for their delicious creations:

Handcrafted Monterey Jack

  • in many delightful flavors
  • including the award-winning Chives & Dill

Handcrafted Cheddar

Authentic Dutch Gouda

And much more, including Swiss, Havarti, Parmesan, and Mozzarella. Their own dairy still produces all the milk used in manufacturing the cheese. They age and ripen their cheese in their temperature and humidity regulated cheese cave.

I’ve been privileged to be a frequent taster of September Farm products – one of the Rotelle children lives in my community, and we always try to schedule our church potlucks for right after she’s visited home and returned bearing gifts. Okay, that was a joke. But still, I’ve loved every one of the cheeses I’ve tried: they’re creamy, nuanced, and perfectly textured.

I’ve also visited September Farm’s lovely store in Honey Brook, PA, sampling good things and making purchases. I love visiting on location, but it’s not always possible – so I’m really excited about their growing online presence!

They’ve recently expanded their online offerings, adding many products that were previously available in-store only, including fresh cheese curds, meats, relishes and dips, and beautiful gift baskets with customizable options, perfect for tasteful (or did I mean tasty?) holiday presents. Purchases can be made from their webstore at any time.

Today, September Farm and I are offering you a chance to win one of their Small Samplers free of charge! A Small Sampler includes

  • Three 8-ounce bars of handcrafted cheese (your choice of eleven flavors!)
  • One 8-ounce Lebanon Bologna
  • A September Farm cheese wire

Here are the flavors one fortunate winner will get to pick from.

Mild Cheddar
Medium Cheddar
Sharp Cheddar
Robertson’s Extra Sharp Cheddar
Smoked Cheddar
Jumpin’ Jack Jalapeño
Honey Jack
Pepperoni Augusto Jack
Chives & Dill Jack
Garlic & Basil Jack
Joy’s Tomato Basil Jack

If you’d like to be entered in a drawing to win a Small Sampler, I’m asking you to share this post on social media, or forward by email to a few friends. Then leave a comment below. Keep in mind that September Farms staff will read your comments, so if you have favorite flavors, or new cheeses you’d like to see them develop, be sure to let them know – and don’t forget to say thank you! {wink}

Cheese, anyone?


Don’t be shy if you are new to Confessions. This is the perfect chance to say hi and leave your first comment. I’d love to meet you!

I was given a Small Sampler by September Farm Cheese in exchange for hosting this giveaway, and it was scrumptious. All facts have been checked to the best of my ability with knowledgeable sources, but all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Giveaway will remain open for one week, closing at midnight on November 14, 2017. Open only to persons with a US mailing address. Winner will be chosen by random.org.

This giveaway is closed.

Mmm…I love cheese. I’ve never been to the Rotelle’s store, although I have met some of the family.
Since I am a photographer, I am noticing the lovely photos. Good job, Hope! ( that is, if you still are the one who does that part of it).

I visited September Farms for the first time earlier this year with a dear friend from Indiana whose son is marrying into the Rotelle family. I was blown away by the place and delighted with all the samples. I was even more delighted with the eye-popping, mouth-watering gift basket my friend Lorrie left me on her departure. Everything from Chives and Dill Jack Cheese to some amazing little cream cheese tarts…we fell in love with it all. I would love to win a sampler from September Farms and am thrilled to know about their online ordering option. A gift basket from them would make a perfect holiday gift!

My husband and I are quite fond of good cheeses, but I’ve never tried September Farms. (We don’t visit Lancaster often enough?!) The photos of cheese make me all desirous of the holidays and good food, but mostly the richness of friends and family. I confess, I only comment on blogs when there is a giveaway involved. Or something. 😉

I emailed this to my five sisters. I like Farmer’s Cheese and usually purchase that flavor at our local Glenn’s Bulk Foods. But I generally like any flavor. Thanks for the chance to try. LRM

A guy from our area is marrying one of their daughters. I’ve heard it’s amazing, and I’ve had one piece of cheese before. A sampler box would be so fun!

It would be awfully hard to choose between gifting someone and keeping it for ourselves.

Guess what, I grew up in Lancaster County but I don’t recall ever having cheese from September Farm. I didn’t even recognize the name. It sounds like a problem that needs to be rectified SOON, because I do love good cheese!

I forwarded the email to some folks who I know love cheese. 🙂
Shari, I do enjoy reading your blog! Thank you for sharing yourself in that way.

I thought I’d commented on here yesterday, but do not see my entry so I’ll try again. 🙂 Never heard of September Farms, but having grown up in nearby Berks County, I believe a trip there could happen next time I visit PA. Found out, after I shared this post via email to my sis, that my Pa family is aware of this beautiful place and can’t believe they never took us there. We’re another cheese-lovin’ family from MS that would thoroughly enjoy winning the sampler!

This looks so delicious. I live a long way from Lancaster County, and have never heard of September Farms, but it’s the kind of place I want to hear of. I would love to win this, and the best part would be presenting it to my husband, the foodie in our home.
