Vermont Butter & Cheese Company has been making artisanal hand crafted cheeses for over 20 years. Owners Allison Hooper and Bob Reese started the company in a small barn by Allison’s house in Brookfield, Vermont. Bob was selling the cheese and Allison was making it. Then, in 1989 the team moved into a larger creamery located in Websterville, near Barre, Vermont. In the beginning, they occupied one third of the building and put all of their money into the purchase of a boiler, a pasteurizer and one vat. Soon they had to add more equipment, more employees and more farmers to their team. In 2006, a new 4,000 sq ft creamery entirely dedicated to the making and aging of fresh ripened goat cheese was added to the facility. Today, Vermont Butter & Cheese Company has 29 employees and works with 21 family farms.
