The Vermont Farmstead Cheese Co., is the first community owned artisan cheese and dairy facility in Vermont. The Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company began as a community effort to save a local hillside farm and its surrounding rural landscape in South Woodstock, Vermont. In very short order, the dairy farm has been transformed into an award-winning cheese company that is creating an entirely new generation of unique farmstead and artisanal cheeses. Vermont Farmstead’s multi-breed herd, sustainable dairy farming, and creative cheese makers have added a distinctly Vermont take on traditional “old-world” cheeses. The Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company is keeping up with nationwide demand by creating a new cheese production facility and aging facility scheduled to open in the summer of 2012 in Windsor, Vermont. While eagerly embracing this anticipated growth, the company remains firmly dedicated to its founding principles to produce a variety of unique and excellent cheeses, gently care for its own herd of cows and farm land, serve as a model of sustainable dairy farming, and support Vermont’s family farms and rural communities.
