VERMONT TRADITION SINCE 1892

Cheesemaking traditions in the historic Village of Grafton, Vermont date from the 19th century.

The Grafton Cooperative Cheese Company was founded in 1892 by dairy farmers who gathered together in a cooperative to make their surplus raw milk into cheese. In the days before refrigeration, there were many such cooperatives in the rural agricultural communities and an abundance of fresh, creamy milk was turned into a food that could be stored for a longer period of time.

The Brattleboro Specialty Cheese & Wine Shop is located close to Route 91, across from the river next to The Retreat Farm (another great activity with farm animals, walking trails, a gift shop, and learning opportunities).

Located at 400 Linden Street (Route 30), Brattleboro. Open daily, 10 am – 6 pm. 802-246-2221 x101.
