The von Trapp Farmstead has been making small-batch, certified organic artisan cheese using the farm's milk since 2009. The von Trapp family started making cheese in order to secure a sustainable future for their dairy farm which was founded in 1959.  Their small herd of about 50 cows is mostly pastured (they get a little bit of grain) and are always outside.  The farm also raises pigs, which they feed whey from the cheesemaking.  The farm received a Good Food Award, which celebrates producers who combine great flavor with environmental and social responsibility, in 2015 for 2 of their cheeses, Mt. Alice and Mad River Blue. You can find their cheese in our Cheese Department.
