Taylor Farm Cheese

Hand-crafted award winning Gouda cheeses using raw, fresh, sweet milk. This creates cheeses with a depth of flavor not found in others made with pasteurized milk. Currently about 1,200 pounds of cheese are produced each week.

Each batch is made by hand on our Londonderry, Vermont farm. We are committed to producing cheese from fresh milk which has no growth hormones added. The cows are milked twice daily and in many instances the cheese is made with milk so fresh it has come from the cows within the hour.

The cows graze on 180 year old permanent pastures free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. The hay we feed the cows is from our own fields and the grain we use is custom blended.

Several traditional and contemporary varieties of Gouda are made. After a minimum of two months of aging the wheels of cheese are ready for your table. Taylor Farm Gouda is a creamy, semi-firm cheese. In the words of the owner of one of Manhattan's finest cheese shops, this Gouda is “better than Holland's best.”

Artisan Cheeses

Maple Smoked Gouda

Raw milk, in the words of Henry 'The Cheeseman' Tewksbury, author of Vermont Cheeses, "Even smoked Gouda from Holland...does not compare with the excellence of this local product." Smoked with maple wood, this farmstead Gouda takes on a new dimension. Milder than hickory-smoked cheeses, this is Taylor's most popular cheese.
