Grafton Village Cheese Company

Grafton Village Cheese Company: Continuing on, the trail leads across a footbridge that spans the West Saxtons River and on toward the Grafton Village Cheese Company. Step through the covered bridge and you'll come to the cheese company. If you prefer to drive, there is a parking lot in front of the building.

The Grafton Cooperative Cheese Company was founded in 1892 by dairy farmers who gathered to make their surplus raw milk into cheese. In 1912, a fire destroyed the original factory at the Wilson Park site (see map). In the mid-1960’s, the Windham Foundation restored the Cheese Company in its current location. Today, the Company continues to make its award-winning cheeses with unpasteurized milk from small, local farms and using the old-style cheddaring process that has long been forgotten by many of today’s larger cheddar companies.

You can see cheese being made Mondays through Fridays 8am – 3pm, and purchase cheese at the Grafton Village Cheese Shop and MKT (see map).
