About Shelburne Farms
Shelburne Farms is a nonprofit organization educating for a sustainable future. That means learning that links knowledge, inquiry, and action to help students build a healthy future for their communities and the planet. Our home campus is a 1,400-acre working farm, forest, and National Historic Landmark. Since 1980, we have made artisanal, Vermont farmhouse cheddar, using only the raw milk from our grass-based dairy herd of purebred Brown Swiss cows. Our cheesemakers craft 170,000 pounds of cheese annually, making it daily for ten months of each year. Our cheesemaking connects people to the origins of their food, strengthens local food systems, and supports the Farm’s education programs.
