Vermont Shepherd

Putney, VT

Vermont Shepherd cheeses are among the oldest and most well known of the country’s sheep and mixed milk cheeses. David and Yesenia and their family and friends pasture and milk the sheep, make and age the cheese on our 250 acre farm in Westminster West, Vermont. Vermont Shepherd cheeses are descended from a variety of Pyrenees mountain cheeses, which is fitting because a large half of our family is Spanish. The cheese has won awards for Best Farmhouse Cheese in the country and Best of Show in the American Cheese Society’s annual competition since 1993. Today our family and friends make cheese in small, 10 to 30 wheel batches.
