Shelburne Farms
Holiday Catalog 2018
When you enjoy our cheddar or our maple syrup, you connect in a profound way to community, place, and honest food. And you connect to something more. You connect to a bigger vision of sustainability. You become part of a groundswell of people and organizations building hopeful stories for the future. As an educational organization, that is at the very heart of Shelburne Farms.
We hope you will come stay and enjoy the Farm and our products throughout the year. Visit our website or give us a call and we’ll be happy to help with your gift list. Your support means a lot.
Thank you!

American Cheese Society 2018 winner! Our youngest, most versatile cheddar has a supple texture and delicate flavor — like fresh cream and buttered toast. Perfect for breakfast with preserves, or melted in your favorite dish.

After a year of aging, our cheddar develops a subtle sharpness. Tastes of lush pasture and freshly cut hay give way to a delightful finish. Pair with apples and honey or cured meats.
TWO-YEAR
This extra sharp cheddar will melt in your mouth. Its flavor is classically Vermont — savory with a rich, creamy texture. Great with cider, beer, or with chocolate for dessert.
Waxed block 1 lb, 31606...............................$18
Waxed block 1 lb, 31612...............................$20 2 lbs, 33212.............................$34
Waxed block 1 lb, 31624...............................$22 2 lbs, 33224.............................$37
THREE-YEAR RESERVE
Only a small percentage of our cheddar can meet the taste and texture criteria demanded for three-year. The result is a crumbly cheddar bursting with bright and fruity flavors. Enjoy with roasted nuts or a fullbodied red wine.
SMOKED
Our award-winning young cheddar is hickory wood-smoked for six hours to give it a subtly sweet, bacon-like flavor. Delicious with cured meats and dried fruit.
Vacuum-sealed block ½ lb, 10836..............................$14 1 lb, 11636...............................$24 2 lbs, 13236.............................$42
Vacuum-sealed block ½ lb, 10850..............................$15 1 lb, 11650...............................$23
CLOTHBOUND
This time-honored process of binding curds in cheesecloth, sealing the wheel with lard, and cave-aging gives you a cheese with a flaky texture and an earthy flavor. Pairs perfectly with English ale, pickles, and strong mustard.
TRACTOR
A strong-flavored cheddar that is never the same twice — previously available only at our Welcome Center and at farmer’s markets. Enjoy it any way you like for any occasion.
BEER
Our new beer cheddar is infused with Shelburne’s own Fiddlehead Brewing Company IPA to produce a cheese that is supple in texture, with a hoppy aroma and flavor akin to a sourdough bread. Try it with pretzels, your favorite IPA, and honey mustard. TO ORDER:
Vacuum-sealed block 1 lb, 11660...............................$27

Maple sugaring generates an amazing all-natural sweetener and is a cornerstone of Vermont’s working landscape. That landscape is part of the sweep of the great Northern Forest, which plays a valuable role in global carbon sequestration.
