One-hundred seventy-five years ago, a farmhouse arose in the polders southwest of Amsterdam. This farmhouse, the Clara Maria, still welcomes visitors today. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era. Clara Maria isn’t just a farmhouse. It’s a cheese farm and clog factory. Inside the former stables, cheesemakers still craft Gouda using traditional methods.

You can learn the secrets of cheesemaking and clog making from the artisans themselves. You can even try some delicious fresh Gouda. Clara Maria also hosts parties, school trips, and corporate events. Guided tours are available in Dutch, English, and German.
