Company description
Von Trapp Farmstead is a 3rd generation, regenerative, Organic Dairy Farm producing artisan cheese, yogurt, and pastured pork. We are also certified by the Real Organic Project.
We believe in producing delicious, nutritious food to share with our families and community. Farming in tandem with nature is the most important ingredient. We milk 45 grass fed cows and turn all of their milk into award winning cheese and yogurt. The whey, a byproduct of cheese production, is fed to our pastured pigs which then end up as pork in our Farm Store open year round.
Our farm is built on the health of our soil, the welfare of our cows, and a passion for cheesemaking and community. As farmstead cheesemakers we have a dynamic business. Our business consists of farming and animal care, cheesemaking and maturation in our cheese caves, and customer connection through wholesale, direct to consumer mail order, and our farm store. We are an 11 person motivated team making it all happen!
