Grafton Village Cheese Company, Cheese factory in Proctorsville, Vermont, US.
Grafton Village Cheese Company is a cheese factory in Proctorsville, Vermont, operating two retail locations throughout the state. The business produces its own cheese varieties while also selling imported dairy products.
The cooperative was founded in 1892 by dairy farmers in Grafton Village to transform excess raw milk into cheese before refrigeration became available. This practice proved successful and became the foundation for today's operation.
The factory keeps Vermont's dairy farming tradition alive by working directly with nearby small farms and using handcrafted production methods. This partnership shapes how locals view their region's food identity.
The Okemo Valley location on Route 103 is open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM with complimentary cheese tastings available. Visitors should note that hours may vary depending on the season.
The facility produces award-winning cheeses using unpasteurized milk from Vermont farms under oversight by the Windham Foundation. This uncommon combination of raw milk cheese making and foundation support sets it apart from most other producers.
