All Week: Sun to Cheese Tours
Where does the story of our delicious farmstead cheddar cheese begin? Join us on a behind-the-scenes tour to uncover the sun to cheese story at Shelburne Farms! Includes cheesemaking viewing, guided tasting, meeting the herd, and more! (2:00-4:00pm daily, except Thursdays).
Cheese Sampling, Daily Milking Demos, and More!
Regarded as one of the finest outdoor history museums in the country, Billings Farm will be offering cheese sampling in its lobby during Cheese Week, as well as daily milking demonstrations, farm house tours, and more. Great for families and groups! Billings Farm is proud to present three delicious varieties of cheeses, Butter, Woodstock Reserve and our award-winning Smoked Cheddar. Each is hand-crafted in small batches at the renowned Grafton Village Cheese Company in Grafton, Vermont. Drawing upon a 150-year tradition of dairy excellence, including our superior herd quality and high standards of care for our cows, Billings cheddar is made from 100% raw milk exclusively from the Billings herd of over 40 purebred, registered Jersey cows. Don't miss the Farmhouse Scoop Shop, offering Wilcox ice cream by the scoop, floats, specialty sundaes, and other treats. Billings Farm cheese is available for purchase. Snacks and beverages are also available to enjoy, with a beautiful view, from the adjacent slate terrace. Open daily, 10AM – 5PM with admission from $14-$23.
