Green Dirt Farm is a small sheep dairy and creamery located in the pastoral river bluffs outside Weston. We make award-winning farmstead sheep's milk cheeses and yogurt by hand on our farm using milk from our own gently raised, grass-fed ewes. We also offer 100% grass-fed lamb that is free of synthetic chemicals, hormones and unnecessary antibiotics.

Among our cheeses: six varieties of fresh sheep's milk cheese, each one rich with the redolent flavors of pure milk and subtle influences of the grasses and legumes found in our pastures. Current flavors include Plain, Nettle (both have been recognized by the American Cheese Society for outstanding flavor and quality), Rosemary, Garlic & Peppercorn, Spicy Chili's and Lovage. We also make artisan aged cheeses by hand, including award-winning Bossa (one of the only washed rind sheep's milk cheeses made in the US), award-winning Dirt Lover, Prairie Tomme, and award-winning Woolly Rind. New to our offerings in 2011 is fresh sheep's milk yogurt.

As part of our commitment to the community and our local food culture, we offer farm tours, a series of Farm Table Dinners and monthly Cheese Appreciation Events. All events are by reservation only and take place on our farm from late spring through early fall. Details are available at www.greendirtfarm.com.

McCormick is the oldest distillery in the United States operating at it original site. In 1976, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Lewis and Clark discovered natural limestone springs in the rolling hills of Missouri. By 1830 these pure springs were supplying water to wagon trains heading west. Years later Ben Holladay saw these limestone springs as the ingredient for great whiskey needed to supply the vast number of wagon trains passing through Weston desiring good whiskey. In 1856 he started his distillery. The tours at the distillery were discontinued in 1995.

The McCormick Country Store was relocated to Main Street and sells all McCormick products and gift items; a .25 cent sample bar for customers over 21 years of age.

WESTON BREWING COMPANY

www.WestonIrish.com

Reopened in December of 2005 by long-time friends and avid brewers, Michael Coakley and Corey Weinfurt, the Weston Brewing Company boasts a modern 24-barrel brewing system capable of producing 20,000 kegs of beer annually.  Their flagship beer, O’Malley’s Irish Cream Ale, carries on the tradition of brewing in historic Weston that began 164 years ago.

The Weston Brewing Company was first established in 1842 by German immigrant, John Georgian, and was one of the first lager beer breweries in the U.S.  Five arched, limestone cellars, dug to a depth of 55 feet below ground, were constructed to create the ideal conditions for Georgian’s lager beer which needed to be stored below 60 degrees for more than six weeks.  The brewery’s 20 employees produced 12,000 barrels of Pale Lager annually.

Upon Georgian’s death in 1857 the brewery continued in various states of ownership and production until 1901 when a new corporation was formed called the Royal Brewing Company of Kansas City.  A branch office was established at 1111-1114 Grand Avenue in Kansas City, Mo.  Promoted as the “oldest brewery west of the Hudson River”, the brewery was the largest manufacturing plant in Platte County, producing 20,000 barrels a year.  Popular brands included Royal Pilsner, advertised as "the beer that made Milwaukee jealous"; Rip Van Winkle, "the world’s richest bottle of beer"; and Vivatone, “a family beverage for all ailments”.

The brewery closed in 1919, when prohibition, otherwise known as "the great experiment," was signed into law.
