Consider Bardwell Farm in West Pawlet Vermont is seeking new owners!

business description

Here is a rare opportunity to own a 300-acre Vermont farm rooted in American agricultural history. Established in 1863 as Vermont’s first cheesemaking co-op by Consider Stebbins Bardwell, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully revived for modern use. From 2004-2020 the current owners revived and reinvented the farm’s cheesemaking tradition, producing award-winning artisan cheeses recognized by major publications and competitions. This cheese making facility continues to operate and is currently leased out for additional monthly income.

This is more than a historic farm, it’s a lifestyle property with extraordinary versatility and income potential. Continue the celebrated cheesemaking operation with a fully equipped, FDA-inspected facility and five custom aging caves, or reimagine the infrastructure for grass-fed beef, dry-aged steaks, organic hay production, or a farm-to-table event venue for weddings and retreats. The two guest houses already generate strong rental revenue and enhance the property’s appeal for hospitality use.

Nicely restored c.1780s (expanded 1814) brick farmhouse with 4 BR, 2 bath, 2 Rumford fireplaces and 2 Swedish wood stoves - original details, pond and mountain views.

The “Smithy”: A former cheese house and blacksmith shop, now a cozy studio cottage loved by guests.
