Since 1731, generation after generation of Works Family members have farmed the Connecticut River Valley in farms located in Southern Vermont and New Hampshire. Traditionally cow dairy farmers, today's generation has converted the former Old Morgan Horse Farm in Townshend Vermont into a state of the art Sheep Dairy and cheese making facility.

Home to nearly 100 milking ewes and lambs. Peaked Mounatin Farm is located on a high ridge line overlooking the West River Vally in Southern Vermont. Our flock is milked twice daily from late May to October. The ewes are pampered, enjoying rotational grazing with fresh fields twice daily. The reason is simple...better pastures mean richer milk. The better the milk, the better the cheese.

Peaked Mountain Farm, LLC, is basically a "Food Farm". Our primary occupation is the production of a unique series of farmstead cheeses produced from our own sheep. We produce our own experimental varieties each year. The farm has an artisianal bakery with breads available from the farm and at local Inns / Restaurants. Lamb is processed at a USDA slaughterhouse and is available at the farm throughout the year. We produce a wide variety of gourmet sausages from our lamb as well. A sugar house produces over 100 gallons of Vermont Pure Maple Syrup each year and even our whey is put to good use fertilizing our 250 blueberry bushes, which we harvest and make into blueberry scones with an avid local following. Our farm offers classes in bread and sausage making and students from around the world join us as interns specializing in animal science and culinary arts.

It is a pleasure to introduce our farmstead cheeses to you.
