Crowley Cheese has been making fine Vermont cheddar by hand for more than 100 years in the tiny mountain village of Healdville. Crowley makes a few hundred pounds of cheese a day, Visitors are invited to visit the factory, Monday through Friday, to watch the cheese being made.
Cheese is made in small quantities with raw whole milk from Vermont cows.
The milk used is free of any growth hormone. The cheese is triple coated in paraffin and beeswax. The factory is located on Healdville Road in Healdville, just two miles off Route 103 between Ludlow and Rutland. The factory is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Crowley Cheese also operates a gift shop on Route 103, just south of Healdville Road.
