The Farm
Boggy Meadow Farm, on the banks of the Connecticut River in Walpole, New Hampshire, has been in the same family since 1812. By the middle of the 19th century, daily shipments of milk, butter, eggs, and produce were loaded onto the Boston & Maine railroad, destined for customers in Boston. Though we no longer ship by rail nor cut hay by scythe, the tradition of dairy farming continues. The undated photo above shows the fall harvest, looking west over the Connecticut. The church in the center of Westminster, VT is visible on the right.
The Cheese
We began making cheese in the mid 1990s, using the 1780 house at the center of the farm. We produce a series of Alpine cheeses from raw cow’s milk. Some of our cheeses, like the Boggy Meadow Baby Swiss are based on traditional recipes. Our unique cave-aged Fiddlehead Tomme, on the other hand, has been developed and refined here on the farm.
