SUMMARY:Meet a Cheesemaker at Woodstock Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:The Woodstock Farmers Market is proud to host some of our closest local cheese makers to sample their cheeses this fall to help us celebrate Vermont Cheese Week: \nPlymouth Artisan Cheese – (Plymouth\,\, VT) – Plymouth Artisan Cheese is a family-run business from Jesse and Sarit Werner\, who still make their cheese from the 1890 Vermont recipe today. Their raw-milk cheese single-sourced from a dedicated herd of Holstein and Jersey cows. When each block of cheddar is ready\, it is dipped in hot wax which is the way Plymouth Cheese has been packaged for 130 years. Their cheese include both traditional cheddars\, as well as newer flavors like black truffle\, harissa\, and hot pepper! \nCobb Hill Cheese – (Hartland\, VT) – Cobb Hill has been handcrafting artisan cheeses since 2000\, including an award-winning Ascutney Mountain Cheese\, a smoked farmhouse Gouda\, a caraway-infused Alphine\, and more. Their milk comes from Cedar Mountain Farm’s jersey cows\, which impart a delicious\, nutty flavor\, and like many Vermont makers\, they follow the age-old process of hand-stirring the curd\, hooping\, and pressing the cheese. \nThis event will be held outside in front of our Woodstock location in beautiful Vermont weather! (If the weather is not-so-friendly\, inside space will be considered.)  \nFor more information\, contact: courtney.p@woodstockfarmersmarket.com or 1-802-457-3658\, ext 1.  \nPro-Tips and Don’t Misses!: The small Woodstock / Windsor / Plymouth triangle has a high concentration of cheesemakers in a small area — check our our Cheese Trail Map for farmstands\, farmstays\, and more in the area.  \nHistoric Makers: Vermont cheesemakers have been at this a long time. In addition to Plymouth Artisan Cheese\, Southwest Vermont also boasts many other century-old cheese sites and identities\, including Billings Farm & Museum (1869)\, Crowley Cheese Company (1824)\, and Grafton Village Cheese (1892).
