Our StoryBoucher Family FarmLocated in Highgate, Vermont, our working dairy farm milks 200 cows twice a day and we make cheese once a week.
For 14 generations the Boucher family has passed the farm from father to son. In the 1940's, the Rene Boucher moved to Vermont. His son Gilbert (the youngest of 11 children) took over at the age of 14, increasing the milk herd from 16 to 180. Today, Gilbert's sons Denis and Daniel run the operation. Our mixed herd cows are grass and hay fed and include Guernsey, Jersey, Brown Swiss, and Holstein cows. |
The Art of CheesemakingVirtual Cheese Plant TourDawn Morin-Boucher is self-taught and has created the recipes for all three of our cheeses through years of development. She became a pioneering cheesemaker in Vermont when she started making cheese 25 years ago in 1999. She is now working to pass down her expertise to the next generation of cheesemakers by training her niece, Kayleigh.
