Did you know that there is cheese being made approx. 4 miles from our school? Yes, in our backyard, directly up Church Hill, 7 different types of cheeses are being made at this local dairy. This company is all about local, from its start up days to present daily operations, it demonstrates LOCAL in every sense!
WES students taste tested a mild, buttery, soft cheese called Brick Haus Tilsit and they asked for seconds and thirds! It was a big hit and the cheese will most likely show up on our school menu again soon.
Marjorie did a great job of telling the students about the cows on the farm, how they live, how many times of day they are milked, how much milk they give and where the milk goes in order for it to get turned into cheese. Students asked great questions, however their favorite part was of course eating the cheese!
Thank you so much to The Vermont Farmstead Cheese company in supporting our taste test. We look forward to establishing a school-farm working relationship soon! Yipppeeee!
Austin Bloch gets some cheese!
