Rent a Cow!
On a picture-perfect Vermont hillside, complete with red barns and a 150-year-old stone farmhouse, a small family farm makes the finest farmstead Brie and Cheddar cheeses, just for you!
- Since any cheese is only as good as the milk that goes into it, the cows are fed only fresh hay, grain, and pasturage, not haylage or corn silage.
- No BST or other chemicals are ever used.
- Your cow spends time outside every day, unlike those cooped up in a modern "factory farm."
- The high butterfat content of the milk from your pampered toast-colored, soft-eyed, long-lashed Jersey cow ensures a rich, smooth cheese.
Along with a personalized Lease Document, we'll include a roster of the herd from which the recipients can choose their cow and milking date. (They have names; they're almost like family).
Progress Reports will tell recipients about the fine art of cheese-making, farm life, and all the moos that's fit to print of the herd. And, if you like, we can take a photo of your cow to add to the family album!
