The cheddaring process is a sight to behold! After the whey drains from the cheesemaking vat, the curds form into semi-hard packs that are cut up into slabs. These loaf-shaped slabs are stacked and restacked to expel extra moisture. The slabs are milled into cheddar "fingers," the shape of which maximizes surface area for salting. The fingers are packed into forms called hoops, and packaged the next day for aging. The cheesemaking team recently hit their halfway processing goal: they've cut and

Most of the cheddar we make is aged here on our campus. A tiny percentage—about 1.5%—takes a different journey. • As a collaboration between Shelburne Farms and Jasper Hill Farm, our Clothbound Cheddar is truly a labor of love for cheesemakers across the state.

🐑 Happy first day of spring! As we look forward to leaves on the trees and longer days, we’re sharing a little peek into lambing season, a sure sign of winter’s closing. • The ewes and lambs are staying warm in their barn, but they’ll be making their way to public spaces on the farm early next month. As of this morning, 89 lambs have been born! One of the first opportunities to meet some of this year's lambs will be during our ‘Sheep & Shear Delights’ family program, Saturday, April 13, details

Our herd of Brown Swiss cows make their 2024 debut to pasture! Here, they're making the turn from their cow lane and onto a paddock of fresh spring grass to eat. They'll move to a new paddock every 12 hours, in between milking, to have access to new, tender stems to munch 🌱. Watch until the end for a joyous 'moo'! • The cows have some outdoor time throughout the winter and early spring, but now that the pastures have greened up and the ground has dried out, they'll be grazing full-time until fa

Assistant Herdsman and Calf Manager Mo Whitney captured one of the first few times our Brown Swiss herd returned to pasture after the winter: "The girls get to hang out in their winter yard for a couple of hours before afternoon milking when the weather is nice. They get soooo excited, and when they hear the barn gates open, all their heads immediately turn, someone moos to alert everyone, and they all quickly trot outside to the pasture!"

This morning, the Old Dairy Barn at Shelburne Farms burned to the ground. The probable cause is lightning from an early morning storm that rolled through. This is an incredibly sad loss to the historic fabric of this place, but we are very fortunate and grateful that no animals or people were harmed in the fire. Please note that all Farm and Inn activities, programs, and functions are carrying on as normal. Only tomorrow's Historic Barns tour has been cancelled. It will take a while to assess th

How does wool get from sheep to sweater? It takes many hands! After master shearers Mary Lake and Kathleen Markiewicz sheared each of our 82 ewes, staff volunteers picked off any unwanted bits to create a cleaner fleece. The process, seen here, is called “skirting!” The bagged fleeces are processed into yarn at Green Mountain Spinnery, and the yarn will be for sale at our Farm Store.
