Where does the story of our delicious farmstead cheddar cheese begin? Join us on a behind-the-scenes tour to uncover the sun to cheese story at Shelburne Farms! Watch the cheesemakers in our Farm Barn cheesemaking facility craft our milk into cheddar. Enjoy a guided tasting of our cheddars, then head to the dairy to meet our Brown Swiss cows and discover how we care for our landscape, pastures, and herd. Please be aware that we will not be actively making cheese on Tuesdays & Thursdays for the remainder of the season. However, we will still host the guided tour and there is still much to experience beyond viewing the cheesemaking! You will still have a guided experience on an open air wagon, visit the dairy to watch the herd come in for afternoon milking, meet some baby calves, and enjoy a private cheese tasting. Accessibility & Details: This tour will meet at the Farm Store & Welcome Center. You'll be transported around our campus in an open-air wagon with steps to board.
