Location - South Woodstock, Vermont
Farm details - Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company
Why are they awesome?
Because they were founded as a means to stimulate the community of Southern Woodstock by bringing people together with a shared goal of invigorating the local socio-economical climate through a dairy farm and its cheese production.
Have they been successful?
YES! And they are expanding to a new cheese facility, aging caves, and retail shop in July 2012.
They currently craft two Cheddars, one washed in ale; their version of a classic English Wensleydale called Windsordale; a fenugreek infused Edam; a soft ripened Brie style cheese; and my favorite -- the Brickhaus Tilsit.
What is the Tilsit?
Well it is a pasteurized cow's milk cheese that is a washed curd cheese giving it a more sumptuous round mouthfeel and a nice density. Buttery, milky and warming, this is a cheese that will win over many hearts as will the creamery who produces it.
