Grafton Village Cheese Company

Grafton Village Cheese Company is a cheesemaker in the town of Grafton in the U.S. state of Vermont. The company produces hand-crafted aged cheddar cheese and was established in 1892 as the Grafton Cooperative Cheese Company. It was restored in the mid-1960s with help from the Windham Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to "preserve the vitality of Vermont's rural communities".[1][2] Grafton's cheddar is synthetic-hormone-free and made mostly from Jersey cow milk from Vermont family farms.[2]

In July 2008 the company celebrated the opening of a new production plant and retail store in Brattleboro.[2] The shop is "a 2,500-square-foot classic barn-like structure encompassing a full-service artisanal cheese shop" offering "more than 70 types of cheeses, wine, Vermont microbrews, fresh bread, maple products and other gourmet food items and accompaniments."[2]
