Strafford Organic Creamery: Owned and operated by Amy Huyffer & Earl Ransome, Strafford Organic Creamery is a one-farm, one-family dairy in central Vermont. They milk 50 Guernsey cows and market their amazing milk in glass bottles and super-premium ice cream.
Vermont Bean Crafters: Created in 2009, Bean Crafters was born out a love affair with beans. They want to craft enjoyable, affordable, locally-sourced organic products that are rooted in the simple, soulful, superlative bean.
Creek Valley Farm: At Creek Valley Farm, the cheese starts with the cows. Cheesemaker and herdsperson, Lorinda Campbell (Rin) has always loved Jerseys. She treats them as family, talking to them, teasing them, and giving them hugs. She jokes that she speaks two languages, English and Cow. Her small herd is mostly daughters of the same matriarch. The dream started when her neighbor gave her a cow, named Flag. She bred Flag, and the process began. She had an overabundance of milk, and her sister came to her aid with some cheese recipes. They began making cheese in her kitchen. Rin kept breeding her heifers and eventually found it necessary to expand her operation. With the help of her sister and brother-in-law, they purchased the Creek Valley Farm in Irasburg, Vermont, and built a small cheese plant complete with a cave. The venture begins, and Rin’s dream comes true. Creek Valley's cows always have access to the outdoors - even in winter. The staff practices rotational grazing and does not use chemical fertilizers on their pastures. These additional efforts lend towards their truly amazing aged cheeses.
