HONEY BROOK - In case you may have missed it, there has been a bit of construction ongoing on the north side of Route 322 one mile west of Honey Brook Borough. The site is well on its way to becoming the home of September Farm Cheese’s Country Store and Sandwich Shop. Projected to open early in the summer of 2013, the store will be the Honey Brook cheesemaker’s new storefront, and a lot more.

The family-owned cheesemaking business, which has been at its current location at 460 Mill Road in Honey Brook for six years, is making the location change with sustainability of the award-winning business in mind.

“We can only go so far with what we have here (currently at the farm’s Cheese Shop) so we decided to open a new store,” said owner Dave Rotelle (who, along with wife Roberta, enjoys the distinction of being named 2012 Chester County Farmer of the Year). “We at first considered opening the new store in East Earl, but we later decided to stay in Honey Brook. It is a real good stretch of road that sees a lot of traffic... …We had a traffic study done, and it showed that there are more than a thousand cars that pass through each day.”
