Say hello to delicious, decadent cakes featuring Vermont berries, maple and tofu. Not only are they vegan and gluten free, but refined sugars have been replaced by organic agave syrup or maple wherever possible. A mother daughter team produce these marvels in Hardwick, VT; we have chocolate and raspberry this week—treat yourself!
Cool nights and crisp mornings bring us an array of wonderful apples. This week we have 3 new heirlooms (Pitamston Pineapple, Lamb Abbey Pearmain and Hubbardston Nonesuch), totes of Sansa and Honeycrisp, and the return of cider. Bake something delicious and fill the house with happiness.
Our organic beef exemplifies a seamless and successful farm transfer from one safe set of hands to another. Tilldale Farm, in Hoosick, NY, was run by the Tilley family for several generations. In early 2022, three Williams siblings (Erin, Lauren and Matthew) bought the farm and its Red Devon cattle and began the process of gaining new grassfed, organic and humane certification. The beef remains unchanged (and delicious), and this week marks the launch of their new branding. River and Rail Farm carries on the mission to improve soil quality and raise better quality beef for your family; this is the same great beef you know from Tilldale, just with a new label, and new certifications, and it arrived fresh today.

Sebastian von Trapp's grandparents purchased their land in 1959, and he grew up on the family farm, his Opa and Oma (Werner and Erika) living just down the road. His parents, Martin and Kelly, ran the farm and dairy, selling their milk to local buyers at whatever price was set by the whims of the global dairy market. In 2007, Sebastian began construction on a creamery for making cheese out of the farm’s milk, with the goal of creating more sustainable income for the farm. The von Trapp Farmstead started making cheese in 2009.
Molly Semler grew up in Middlesex, Vermont and returned to the state to follow her passion for making cheese. She started working on the farm, and over the course of making cheese together, she and Sebastian fell in love. (Cheesy, but true!) Sebastian currently runs the farm while Molly operates the creamery.
The Von Trapps are truly a "farmstead" cheese operation—the milk from the cows is being produced in an adjacent building to their cheese making facility, where they make their award-winning cheeses: Camembert-style Mt. Alice; nutty Savage; unique Mad River Blue, as well as the award-winning Oma, aged by Jasper Hill.
Over the course of three generations, the family transitioned to a certified organic dairy operation, which is currently working towards producing 100% A2A2 milk. Their measured approach to this change allows each cow to age out of the herd naturally. Currently, the milk is around 80% A2A2, making their creamy yogurt digestible for many lactose intolerant folks. Their happy cows move from field to field, shelter under a canopy, or in the barn, and are milked only once a day, yielding a creamier product (though slightly less of it than 2 milkings per day would provide). Their sweet, creamy organic milk is perfect for premium cheese and yogurt production.
Artisan cheese making on a 50-cow family farm is the family's contribution to improving Vermont's declining dairy economy and working landscape and is part of their mission to show that a small family farm can be economically viable.
