Woodcock Farm Cheese Company - Located just outside the picturesque village of Weston, VT, Woodcock Farm Cheese Company is home to Mark and Gari Fischer and their award winning farmstead and artisanal cheeses.

With their flock of East Friesian sheep grazing on 45 acres of lush organic pastures the Fischers hand craft some of the best farmstead sheep's milk cheeses, cow & sheep blends and all cows' milk cheeses being made in the US today.

The Cheese - Building their brand around three aged, raw sheep's milk cheeses, Weston Wheel (American Cheese Society Award Winner), Summer Snow (Camembert style) and West River Feta (American Cheese Society Award Winner), the Fischers established themselves as makers
of famstead cheeses of unique styles, textures and flavors.

With their national awards and success in the marketplace, Mark & Gari have since developed several new cheeses including: Magic Mountain (American Cheese Society Award Winner-hard aged Alpine sheep's milk cheese, sweet & nutty with a gritty texture and slight tanginess on the finish), True Blue (a creamy cows' milk blue), Timberdoodle (American Cheese Society Award Winning Havarti style-cow/sheep blend or all cows' milk) and Weston Wheel Cow (a variation on their signature sheep's milk cheese of that name-that is creamy, buttery with a slightly lemony finish).

"The healthy diet of natural pasture
grasses that our sheep enjoy give our
cheeses their rich, buttery flavors. We
collect the milk in the morning and then
add rennet to produce the curds, which
form the foundation of the many types
of cheese produced here at Woodcock
Farm," states Mark Fischer.

What's New? - Mark & Gari have recently expanded the space of their cheese making facilty. With the high quality of cows' milk available from nearby Taylor Farm, the Fischer's are making several blended milk cheeses in addition to the cow/sheep's milk blend Timberdoodle. Humble Pie is the latest entry into this category. It's a lovely washed-rind cheese that has a creamy earthy flavor with a slightly tangy finish. Winter Snow is an all cows' milk Camembert that will be available in November 08.

(Weston Wheel, Timberdoodle, Winter Snow and True Blue are regularly featured in the AMNE online store-Cheese Lover's Choice.)
