Rembrandt Hoeve

Considering there are only a limited number of clog factory AND cheese farm in The Netherlands, and honestly, unless you’ve been to another clog factory and cheese farm, there’s no reason you to give it anything less than all the stars.
The man who gives the tour may come off creepy and offensive, but as long as you take this tour as educational entertainment, you’ll find him as hilarious as I did. He knows a bit of every language, I guess it’s what you do when you know you will be giving tours to tourists of your farm all day.
This was the last stop to my Amsterdam tour, and what a great end to it. At the end of the tour was cheese samples when you enter the shop. I bought a mature pepper cheese and the smoked cheese. They’re delicious and I really can’t wait to crack them open (the wait is because I’ll most likely eating it all in one sitting).
And ladies, he might… no, he’ll probably… no… he’ll most definitely make a pass at you. Just laugh it off, it’ll make your experience more enjoyable, and I think that’s really how he makes his job more fun.
If he calls you little woman, just call him little man. That’s what I did.

This clog/​cheese farm is run by one of the most entertaining men I’ve ever met in my life. It’s difficult to tell if his utter insanity is an act, or merely to show guests a good time, but regardless he will teach you all about how clogs are made, and take the creepiest of photos at your request.
Oh, and the cheese is cheap and delicious. I grabbed a huge log of smoked gouda with bacon in it (that helps make the best mac & cheese ever), and I only wish I had grabbed twelve. But then I probably would’ve been stopped at customs, and they would’ve taken all my delicious cheese.

Farms are a mere 10 minutes away from Amsterdam’s city center. It’s so weird to watch the scenery change from urban to rural, just like that. Rembrandt Hoeve is a farm of cheese and clogs.
We had a hilarious guide at Rembrandt Hoeve Clogs and Cheese. This guy cracked jokes in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. He was kind of flirty, occasionally boastful, occasionally self-​deprecating, and did not fail to charm.
