Sunday, June 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.—WOODSTOCK — Cheese lovers, curious kids, and anyone with an appetite for Vermont’s agricultural heritage are invited to Billings Farm & Museum for its annual dairy celebration — a full day of farm-fresh flavor, hands-on activities, and fun.
This lively event celebrates Vermont’s world-renowned dairy culture with cheese tastings from a range of producers, including Billings Farm, Vermont Farmstead, Spring Brook Farm, Green Mountain Blue Cheese, Plymouth Cheese, Cobb Hill Cheese, Grafton Village Cheese, and Cabot Creamery. Attendees can churn butter, make ice cream, and play the interactive “From-A-Cow, Not-From-A-Cow” game.
For young guests and families, horse-drawn wagon rides will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and farm staff will lead pasture tours highlighting rotational grazing and regenerative agriculture. Visitors can meet the farm’s legacy Jersey cows and follow milk’s journey “from field to fridge.”
Those interested in Vermont’s dairy history can explore the Creamery Tour and view vintage photographs and artifacts from the historic Billings-Starlake Dairy operation.
The event will also feature:
New England Dairy’s Mobile Dairy Bar with flavored milk samples
Vermont Mobile Spirits, offering signature cocktails
Sustainable Eats food truck fare and treats from the Farmhouse Scoop Shop
Live music by Vermont-based singer-songwriter Ali T, performing from 11 a.m.to 1 p.m.
