About the Maker(s)
Jasper Hill Farm began farming and making cheese with a goal of creating a model to be replicated by other farmers in Vermont who wished to diversify their quickly disappearing farms into more workable options. The purpose of creating the aging facility was to provide a place for cheesemakers to send their "green" cheeses to be ripened and marketed by staff who are specially trained to do just that. By reducing the initial investment and training needed by farms trying to diversify, Cellars provides opportunity to a greater number of farms.
