The Cellars at Jasper Hill Farm Cheese Tasting with Scott Harbour Saturday, December 14, 2019 2pm to 4pm  We are very excited to have Scott Harbour with us this Saturday afternoon. Scott is the head cheesemaker at Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont. The Cellars at Jasper Hill Farm is located in Greensboro, Vermont where they have seven caves dedicated to aging a wonderful variety of cheeses. In addition to making their own cheeses, Jasper Hill works with five other creameries as an affineur (a specialist in aging cheese). Jasper Hill Farm is also a leader in the American Cheese Community. We admire their dedication to creating environmentally sustainable products, community outreach, and for their help in the ongoing fight for access to raw milk cheeses in the United States. In addition to some of our favorites, we have some new cheeses at the counter! Jasper Hill is now making mixed-milk cheeses using a blend of cow and goat’s milk. Come down and try Eligo and Bridgeman Blue as they make their debut in the Pacific Northwest! We currently have a the following Jasper Hill cheeses available for purchase:
