Cabot Creamery --
1 Farm Home Way, Montpelier, VT
There's efficiency and strength when we work together." That's the principle on which the Cabot Creamery Cooperative was founded by the farmers of Cabot, Vermont in 1919. It's the same principle on which the Cabot brand and its parent cooperative, Agri-Mark, continue to thrive today. As it was early last century, Cabot is still a sleepy little farm town tucked into the rocky soil of Vermont's rolling hills. The company is still working hard to bring pleasure to the people who buy our products and value to the farmer-owners who supply our milk. And that's just what we plan to keep on doing for many years to come. Our guided tour includes an informative video, which tells not only the history of Cabot Creamery, but also a little something about the agricultural history of Vermont. After the video we take a walk down the hall to actually view our award-winning cheese being made. Following the tour ($1.00 per person over 12 years of age) we invite you to nibble our many varieties of cheeses, including the World’s Best Cheddar and Best Flavored Cheddar.

The Grafton Village Cheese -- Free!
Route 121, Grafton, VT
In the first decades of the 1800s, Grafton was a thriving settlement on the post road from Boston to Albany. The town had many farms, over 10,000 sheep, sawmills, gristmills, tanneries, woolen mills, a soapstone quarry, a carriage and sleigh factory, an inn and several stores. By the mid 1800s many of New England's farmers had moved westward and the region's once strong wool industry had collapsed under the pressures of Australian competition. Like many towns around it, Grafton was no longer on the main thoroughfare. The Grafton Village Cheese Company was founded in 1890 as the Grafton Cooperative Cheese Company, and converted surplus milk from local dairy farmers into cheese. Some years later, a fire destroyed the original factory. When the nonprofit Windham Foundation restored the company in the mid 1960s, a new era for the town was born. Today, quality and taste are still the hallmarks of the company's products. The cheese company is a subsidiary of the Grafton based Windham Foundation, known throughout Vermont for its philanthropy and preservation work in Grafton, Vermont. We have a large viewing window where you can watch the cheese being made as well as a 10 min video explaining the whole process. Best viewing times for the cheese making process is mid-morning. Call or email us for tour times.
