Grafton Village Cheese

Located next to a covered bridge in scenic Grafton Village, Vermont, Grafton Village Cheese Company is "dedicated to preserving the cheddar making tradition started here in 1892."

A "must-see" tourist destination, Grafton Village appears virtually untouched by the 20th century, featuring a blacksmith's shop, a steepled white church, a carriage house, a tavern built in 1801, and of course, the Grafton Village Cheese Company. When a fire destroyed the original factory, it was rebuilt with the help of the Windham Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving the character of this part of rural Vermont.

Smaller family farms throughout southern Vermont supply the all-Jersey milk that goes into making these award-winning cheddars. Mostly made by hand we produce all natural, aged raw milk cheddars, Premium-1 year aged, Classic Reserve-2 year, Gold-3 year, 4 Star-4 year, 5 Star-5 year and StoneHouse-6 Year aged cheddar. We also produce Maple Smoked, Sage and Garlic Cheddar. The cheeses are packed in a wide variety of sizes, from 4-ounce bars to 40-pound blocks.

Raw-milk cheeses have depth and complexity of flavor so appreciated by cheese lovers; aged cheddar, like fine wine, is a living, breathing product of the earth.

The Grafton Village Cheese Company has a delightful viewing room with a window to watch the cheddaring, adjacent to an on-premises retail outlet. The company also has a very successful mail order and wholesale business. Their products may also be found in many retail deli cheese displays, specialty shops, fine restaurants, and wine bars throughout the country.
