Farmstead Cheese Comes Home to Woodlawn Creamery
From Saxelby Cheesemongers, October 18, 2024
Do you know what your great-great-great-great-grandparents did for work? Seth Leach at Woodlawn Farm does. Seven generations of his family have been raising cows for milk in the town of Pawlet, Vermont (population: ~1,500) since 1831. In that time, the Leach clan has seen the commodity market for milk rise and fall more times than anyone could count. These days, small farms like Woodlawn are beholden to whatever prices giant dairy buyers set, and most can't make the economics work. So Seth and his wife Kate decided to do something different.
