Beautiful little self-serve stand. Cheeses were finely crafted and the selection was high quality. There is no cell service for the most part, so you want to make sure to have cash or load venmo ahead of time.

Great cheese, great atmosphere definitely a great place to stop. Came in the middle of a huge thunder storm and my tiny car was still able to make it up the hill :)

Five stars for their cheese, particularly the Verano which might the best sheep milk cheese in New England. If you are near by it’s worth a stop to get cheese, but given that you can’t really visit the farm or talk to the cheese makers, it’s not worth going too far out of your way for. The shack is self serve and has some products you aren’t likely to find elsewhere. Hopefully someday they will be more accessible to the public because they make an amazing product!

Great cheeses and a nice small farm stand.

Gratitude for farms like this. We live basically next door but would drive many miles for ice cream and cheese that taste this heavenly....Where else can you get Ojoche sheep milk gelato.....Superfood at its finest! Conveniently located in the heart of beautiful Westminster West, the store is really easy to find and seems to be always open to self serve. The friendly dogs and adorable sheep are just a plus.Thank you Vermont Shepherd!

This place was somewhat difficult to find and waaaaay off the beaten path. It consists of several buildings and it wasn't obvious which was the retail portion of the farm. We finally figured out the correct building after being aided by a friendly dog who trotted up to the "store" (and I use the term loosely) and lay down in the doorway, forcing me to step over him to enter. No person was there and there was no easily discernible way to make a payment for anything purchased (honor system?). No way to taste any of the cheeses (all goat's milk, though they apparently have cows as well) and the prices were astronomical. Approx. $20 for 6 oz., even 8 oz., of cheese, no matter how good it is, was too rich for my taste so we ended up buying nothing and being very annoyed at having to drive so far. Not sure whether we'll attempt a visit to a different cheese company (also on a farm; looks closer to Brattleboro, where we stayed) but that's a decision for next year.

Bought a pint of Fig Brule gelato and it is too amazing! I need to come back for the other flavors!

Update: Daniel from Vermont Shepherd reached out to address my concerns from a prior order. I really appreciate him reaching out and explaining what happened, it means more to me that they understand my complaint. Now their cheese is outstanding, we actually purchased their cheese from City Market Onion River Co-op and it was amazing. Wish you guys the best of luck and continued success. Seems like good cheese. Ordered a gift for Father's Day and the cheese arrived warm with ice packs melted. If you're going to buy from them I would do so in person.
