Our partnering Farmers and Producers are some of the best in New England. Most are organically certified, and those who are not use sustainable practices. They are in this for the love of food, farming, and the art and craft of it all. Get them into a conversation about their crops or animals, their soil practices, or their land and be prepared for a lengthy and passionate discourse. They are masters of their craft and are all very excited about the nearly direct relationship they have with you. All of them feel it is essential that families know the people who produce their food. They are fully committed to the well being and health of your family.
The entire Farmers To You team is committed to long term partnerships between Farmers and Families where careful stewardship and sustainability produce great bounty, nutrition and superior taste.
Sebastian von Trapp's grandparents purchased the von Trapp Farm in 1959. Over the course of three generations, the farm has transitioned to a certified organic dairy and most recently added cheese making to their value-added operations. They produce some of the sweetest organic milk for premium cheese production, including the award-winning Oma, aged at Jasper Hill Cellars. They are truly a "farmstead" cheese operation as the milk from the cows is being produced in an adjacent building to their cheese making facility, where they make their famous Oma, the Camembert-style Mt. Alice, nutty Savage, and unique Mad River Blue cheeses.Artisan cheese making on a 50-cow family farm is their 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.
