An Interview with David Major of Vermont Shepherd
Manage episode 310261298 series 3051067
Our cheesemakers are back from their whirlwind trip to Vermont, where they got the chance to sit down with a true OG of American artisan sheep cheese, David Major of Vermont Shepherd! David has been raising sheep and making award-winning wheels on his Putney farm for 30 years, and now, the third generation of his family has joined in on the cheesemaking fun. In this episode, we talk with David about what it was like to start a sheep dairy way back when (buying plastic bowls from the drugstore and drilling holes in them for molds, for example), cheese marketing, and how much the sheep cheese scene has changed.
