At Shelburne Farms, we are passionately creating transformational learning experiences to shape a sustainable future, experiences that springboard from our beautiful working farm campus. The farm products you love support that vision, and this place.
Our hand-crafted cheddar and pure maple syrup are touchstones to this landscape for learning. They reflect the pastures, Brown Swiss cows, maple trees, and woodlands of our farm on the shores of Lake Champlain.
Sam Dixon, Dairy Manager
“
When you’re working with animals, you’re on their time.
You can’t be anything but focused on them. If we’ve got a heifer calving, or a young cow coming through the parlor for the first time, you have to be there. Because we’re responsible for them and people love seeing them. This working farm means something to people. Without the dairy, Shelburne Farms would still be a beautiful place, but it wouldn’t be Shelburne Farms. This working landscape is essential to what we are.

Farmstead cheddar handmade from the raw milk of our Brown Swiss cows.
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.
Waxed block ½ lb, 30806.............................$13 1 lb, 31606.............................. $24
ONE-YEAR 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.
Waxed block ½ lb, 30812..............................$15 1 lb, 31612............................... $26 2 lbs, 33212........................... $44
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.
Waxed block ½ lb, 30824.............................$18 1 lb, 31624.............................. $30 2 lbs, 33224........................... $49
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.
Vacuum-sealed block ½ lb, 10836..............................$18 1 lb, 11636............................... $33 2 lbs, 13236........................... $54
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.
Vacuum-sealed block 7 ½ oz, 10850..........................$17 15½ oz, 11650....................... $28
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, never the same twice. Enjoy it any way you like for any occasion.
Vacuum-sealed wedge ½ lb, 10860............................. $22
Vacuum-sealed block ½ lb, 10870..............................$14

We farm to nurture the health of soils, plants, animals, and people. And after decades of managed grazing, our pastures are thriving with carbon-rich organic matter.
Andi Wandt, Creamery Manager
“
In my heart, I’m a cheesemaker. I love the physicality of it,
the routine, the sense of accomplishment. At the end of the day, you’ve made 500 pounds of cheese that is going to bring a lot of people joy. To me, cheese is a distillation of everything that we do here. It’s a product that nourishes people, and it helps preserve the agricultural future we want.

Our woodlands offer more than just maple syrup. They sequester carbon and support wildlife.
And they inspire learners to re-imagine their relationships with the natural world.
Dana Bishop, Woodlands Manager
“
Sometimes when I’m out tapping the trees, I’m making a little bit
of noise or I’m close enough to the trail so people can see or hear me and ask questions. Then I can introduce them to the complexity of what’s going on. Because I think all the magic that’s going on in the woods is often overlooked. In the sugarbush, it’s a mix of technology
