The Cheesemakers:
Owners Allison Hooper and Bob Reese started Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery in 1984 after a
batch of fresh goat cheese Allison made for a banquet drew raves. They realized they were on to something good and began making more varieties of cheese from milk sourced from local farms. Today, Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery has 29 employees and works with 21 family farms.
