Victor is a sleepy little farming town in Ravalli County. Home to about 750 people and many animals, it’s best known for its Field of Screams pumpkin patch that takes place every October. But should you find yourself in the area, make sure you make your way to Lifeline Creamery & Farm Store, especially if you’re a cheese lover.
Lifeline Creamery & Farm Store is located at 2427 Meridian Road, right off Highway 93.
