Willow Hill Farm

We are a small organic diversified farm located 1200 feet above sea level in the foothills of the Green Mountains. We are dedicated to using old world methods in making our cheeses (and yogurt) and believe it directly affects flavor. All of our animals graze on the indigenous grasses and herbs of our hillside pastures, which in turn creates unique flavor profiles in the cheese-it is truly of the land! Each batch of cheese is handmade and then matured in our underground caves which are ventilated by the surrounding woodland on our farm.

Each of our award-winning cheeses is seasonal and available nationally in select fine cheese shops, co-ops, and restaurants. For availability and ordering info please visit our web site.
