Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

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! Because we are busy farming and making cheese, visitors are discouraged from visiting our farm and facilities. The Cheese Stand is a great way to get a "taste" for what our farm and cheese is all about! We appreciate your understanding!
