Normandy Steers

Our beef comes from the dual-purpose French Normandy breed; females enter the milking herd, males become steers. They eat what we grow on the farm: alfalfa, grasses, and hay.

Green Mountain Blue Cheese

For the past 18 years we have made small production raw-milk cheeses by hand at our dairy. Locally, they can be found at City Market, Healthy Living and Shelburne Supermarket in Chittenden County; Brattleboro Food Co-op in Windham County; We also have cheese available at the farm, and at Burlington's summer farmers' market.

BLUE CHEESES: Gore-Dawn-Zola, Boucher Blue, Madison Blue

We live on the Gore Road, my name is Dawn: Gore-Dawn-Zola! It is intense and complex. Boucher Blue is sweet, earthy, and creamy. Madison is superb with garlic and tomatoes - try on a pizza. All our blues have a texture like cold butter and crumble when sliced thinly. Look for them at Healthy Living, City Market, and Burlington Farmers' Market in City Hall Park (across from American Flatbread on St. Paul St.)

WASHED RIND CHEESE: Brother Laurent

Brother Laurent was Dan's uncle, and a holy Catholic brother. He made many trips to the farm during his lifetime. Our award-winning cheese named for him is supple, rich and dense - perfect for melting or pairing with wine & beer. Washed-rind cheeses form a sticky orange exterior and are very aromatic (even stinky). *This cheese is currently on hiatus.

AGED CHEESES: Tomme Collins & Connor Abbey

Tomme Collins is named for our friend, Myron Collins, who helps make our cheeses; this alpine-style slicing/grating cheese ages from 6 months to 9 months, becoming harder, sharper, and drier as it gets older. Connor Abbey is even drier and harder than our tomme, and has a slight fruity aroma due to being washed in cider beer. Both are currently on hiatus.
