What a day at the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival! 🧀✨

We had such a blast at Shelburne Farms yesterday, showcasing and sampling a delicious variety of products from our VSFA members. It was a wonderful opportunity to promote the incredible makers in our community, connect with customers, and catch up with so many of our industry friends.

A huge thank you to Vermont Cheese Council for hosting such a spectacular event and inviting VSFA to be part of it. We loved being there and celebrating Vermont’s amazing food and beverage community!

Until next time! 💚
