Vermont Shepherd Cheese is the country's most famous and oldest sheep milk cheese. It is created by the Ielpi Major family, who pasture and milk the sheep, and make and age the cheese on their 250 acre farm in Westminster West, Vermont. Come visit our Cheese Store, where you can taste and purchase our cheese. We encourage you to bring a picnic and bottle of wine and soak up the beautiful Vermont countryside. We also have a cheese stand on our farm, where you can taste our cheese, view our fields and see a few of our sheep!

Taylor Farm is a 180 year old farm in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Originally strictly a dairy operation, over the years we have added a cheese making facility, lodging, a farm stand, sleigh rides and educational activities.
One weekend a month from May through October we invite all to kick up their heels and join us in celebrating life on a farm in Vermont. Meet and pet all of our barnyard friends, enjoy horse drawn wagon rides, live music, forging demonstrations and other seasonal activities. This summer's schedule is posted on our website on the "Tours" page.

Neighborly Farms produces ten kinds of delicious organic cheeses, all made with wholesome milk from our 48, well-cared for Holstein cows. At our family farm we make cheese the old-fashioned way, by caring for the land and surroundings. It helps us produce the finest cheeses possible.

Come watch Crowley Cheese being made by hand just as it was over 100 years ago by Winfield Crowley. Our landmark factory was built next to a small mountain brook in 1882 in the then-traditional post & beam fashion. Little has changed in over 110 years.

The Gift Shop is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

We make cheese most Mondays through Thursdays, but please call ahead to be sure if you are making a special trip to see cheese being made.
