Vermont Shepherd LLC — Local services in Westminster

This place was somewhat difficult to find and waaaaay off the beaten path. It consists of several buildings and it wasn't obvious which was the retail portion of the farm. We finally figured out the correct building after being aided by a friendly dog who trotted up to the "store" (and I use the term loosely) and lay down in the doorway, forcing me to step over him to enter. No person was there and there was no easily discernible way to make a payment for anything purchased (honor system?). No way to taste any of the cheeses (all goat's milk, though they apparently have cows as well) and the prices were astronomical. Approx. $20 for 6 oz., even 8 oz., of cheese, no matter how good it is, was too rich for my taste so we ended up buying nothing and being very annoyed at having to drive so far. Not sure whether we'll attempt a visit to a different cheese company (also on a farm; looks closer to Brattleboro, where we stayed) but that's a decision...

The cheese from VT Shepard Farms is absolutely delicious.. it's aged to perfection and the entire farm is awesome.. the family that owns the farm are the friendliest people ever and they are always avail to show u around. The farm store is a small hut like house with a refrigerator full of cheeses and there's wool!! and jams!! and soaps!! .. all made there and at a sister farm. I recommend horse back riding and renting the house on the premises for the weekend and explore Vermont peacefully and naturally.. did I mention a pond? Shhh theres a pond.....

Update: Daniel from Vermont Shepherd reached out to address my concerns from a prior order. I really appreciate him reaching out and explaining what happened, it means more to me that they understand my complaint. Now their cheese is outstanding, we actually purchased their cheese from City Market Onion River Co-op and it was amazing.

Wish you guys the best of luck and continued success.

Seems like good cheese. Ordered a gift for Father's Day and the cheese arrived warm with ice packs melted. If you're going to buy from them I would do...
