点评:As part of the official Eastern Townships cheese circuit, I expected Fromagerie de Cantons to offer a welcoming experience, unfortunately, our visit fell well short of expectations.
Despite being listed as a stop on the circuit – which suggests they’re accustomed to out-of-town guests – customer service was poor. When we arrived, many of the cheeses advertised on their website were sold out. About a third of the cheeses in the display case were unlabelled, making it difficult to know what was being offered.
When we politely asked (in French) for information about a specific cheese, we were met with a condescending “Pardon?” and had to repeat ourselves several times due to a loud fan running in the background... Pardon? Pardon? Pardon? Rather than being helpful, the staff member seemed annoyed by our questions – as though our presence was an inconvenience.
Sadly, when asked, no samples were offered, and no effort made to guide us through their selection. I was looking forward to tasting and their cheeses, but the lack of engagement made that impossible.
Having visited many other cheesemakers on the circuit – where staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and proud to share their craft – Fromagerie de Cantons was a notable outlier. A cheesemaker on this route should expect to introduce their products to curious visitors and create an experience that reflects the region’s passion for cheese.
I hope they consider improving the customer experience to match the standards upheld by their peers. I went out of my way to visit them and have to say; it was not worth the drive.

翻译:作为东部城镇官方奶酪巡展的一部分,我原本期待Fromagerie de Cantons能提供热情友好的体验,但不幸的是,我们的到访体验远未达到预期。
尽管他们被列为巡展的一站——这表明他们已经习惯了接待外地客人——但客户服务却很差。我们到达时,他们网站上宣传的许多奶酪都已售罄。展柜里大约三分之一的奶酪没有标签,让人很难辨认他们提供的是什么。
当我们礼貌地用法语询问某种奶酪的信息时,他们却傲慢地回应了我们一句“请问?”,由于背景中风扇的轰鸣声,我们不得不重复了好几次……请问?请问?请问?工作人员非但没有提供帮助,反而似乎对我们的问题感到厌烦——好像我们的出现给我们带来了不便。
遗憾的是,当我们询问时,他们没有提供样品,也没有努力引导我们挑选。我原本期待着品尝他们的奶酪,但缺乏互动让我无法实现。
我曾拜访过这条路线上的许多其他奶酪厂——那里的员工热情好客、知识渊博,并且自豪地分享他们的技艺——但Fromagerie de Cantons却是一个明显的例外。这条路线上的奶酪厂应该做好向好奇的游客介绍他们的产品,并创造一种能够体现该地区对奶酪热情的体验的准备。
我希望他们考虑提升顾客体验,以达到同行所秉持的标准。我特意去拜访了他们,不得不说,不值得这么远。
