Crowley Cheese Company
In Mt Holly, Vermont, Crowley Cheese Company runs a working cheese house that still feels like a small museum. The shop sits inside an old, rustic building, with a decoy crow in the snow greeting you at the door. You can wander separate rooms, peek at cheese being waxed, and taste a dozen cheeses from a family that handcrafts real raw milk blocks and ages them to keep them lively. The shop shelves also hold honey, jams, and maple syrups, so a simple cheese run becomes a mini layover of local bites. You can buy everything right there in the retail store, with a fridge to pick from and friendly staff who love to tell the history and lead tasty mini tours. People rave about the cheese of the month blends, the mild to sharp varieties, and the friendly, knowledgeable service. If you’re in Mt Holly for a Vermont food day, this is a stop that feels like a local tradition in action.
