Learning for a sustainable future

Cheddar & Maple Syrup for the Holidays 2021

We believe that transformational learning, grounded in place and community, sows the seeds for growing a healthy and just world.

When you purchase our farm products you are helping forge a path toward a sustainable future.

We are committed to practicing regenerative agriculture: farming in ways that nurture soil, plant, animal, environmental, and human health.

Our farm is a living classroom for inspiring hope, sparking ideas, and cultivating change.

The cheese that we craft from our fresh, whole milk conveys a deep connection to this place and the land we all depend on.

Our handmade, farmstead cheddar is aged from six months to three years, and is available in ½- to 2-pound blocks, either waxed or vacuum-sealed. We also offer exceptional smoked, clothbound, and “tractor” cheddar.

Prices range from $10 to $48 a block, depending on age and weight.

You can also order gift packages and cheddar samplers — a way to enjoy taste combinations from our family of cheddars and other farm products — starting at $36.

We steward our woodlands to maintain healthy ecosystems and sequester carbon in the face of climate change.

Maple sugaring has long been important to Vermont agriculture. Across the state, sugarhouses come alive with activity in early spring when the sap flows and boiling begins. In elegant glass bottles or family-style jugs, our maple syrup is pure Vermont. Prices range from $11 to $59.

SIX-MONTH

Our youngest, most versatile cheddar has a supple texture and delicate flavor — like fresh cream and buttered toast.

Perfect for breakfast with jam, or melted in your favorite dish.

After aging a year, our cheddar develops a subtle sharpness.

Tastes of lush pasture and freshly cut hay give way to a delightful finish. Pair with apples and honey or cured meats.

TWO-YEAR

This extra sharp cheddar will melt in your mouth. Its flavor is classically Vermont — savory with a rich, creamy texture.

Great with cider, beer, or with chocolate for dessert.

THREE-YEAR RESERVE

Only a small percentage of our cheddar can meet the taste and texture criteria demanded for three-year. The result is a crumbly cheddar bursting with bright and fruity flavors.

Enjoy with roasted nuts or a full-bodied red wine.

SMOKED

Our award-winning young cheddar is hickory wood-smoked for six hours to give it a subtly sweet, bacon-like flavor.

Delicious with cured meats and dried fruit.

CLOTHBOUND

This time-honored process of binding curds in cheesecloth, sealing the wheel with lard, and cave-aging gives you a cheese with a flaky texture and an earthy flavor. Pairs perfectly with English ale, pickles, and strong mustard.

TRACTOR

A strong-flavored cheddar that is never the same twice.

Enjoy it any way you like for any occasion.

Pure Vermont Maple Syrup From our own sugarbush and Butternut Mountain Farm

As the sugaring season progresses, the syrup darkens and develops a deeper flavor. Served over pancakes, drizzled over ice cream, or enlivening a marinade, dressing, or baked good, our maple syrup makes any recipe better. (Additional sizes available online.)
