Twig Farm from West Cornwall, Vermont

In stock now at Forsyth -- come in for a taste

Twig Farm Washed Rind Wheel
Wheel is a washed rind cheese made with raw goat milk and sometimes raw cow milk, aged about 80 days. As the cheese ages, the rinds are washed with a whey brine. The texture of the cheese is semi-soft and the flavor is full. This cheese is made from goat milk from our farm and sometimes with cow milk from Joe Severy's organic dairy (48 cows) in Cornwall, Vermont. Joe Severy's cows are mostly Jersey. We mix in the Jersey milk when the cows are on pasture.



Michael makes our cheese by hand using traditional techniques and equipment for farmstead cheese production. Our cheeses age in a temperature and humidity controlled environment in our cellar. Twig Farm is owned by Michael Lee and Emily Sunderman. We have been in business since 2005. Our twenty-acre farm is located in West Cornwall, Vermont, about 10 miles south of Middlebury. Michael manages our herd of goats and makes and ages our cheese. Emily manages the business and marketing for Twig Farm and works as an analyst for a publishing company.
