The origins of Grandpa's Cheesebarn date back to the early 1900s, when the famous Grandpa Yarman sold his last possession to buy a wheel of Ohio Swiss cheese.
Shortly after, Yarman's Cheese Shop opened in West Salem, Ohio, and it wasn't long before inventory grew.
Grandpa Yarman began smoking meats such as ham and bacon and word quickly spread about just how top-notch his food products were.
