Consider Stebbins Bardwell's Legacy: A rare opportunity to own a storied 300-acre Vermont farm rooted in American agricultural history. Established in 1863 as Vermont's first cheesemaking co-op by Consider Stebbins Bardwell, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully revived for modern use. From 2004-2020 the current owners revived and reinvented the farm's cheesemaking tradition, producing award-winning artisan cowandgoat cheeses recognized by major nationalandinternational publications and competitions. This cheese making facility continues to operate and is currently leased out for additional monthly income. This is more than a historic farm, it's a lifestyle property with extraordinary versatility and income potential. Continue the celebrated cheesemaking operation with a fully equipped, FDA-inspected facility and five custom aging caves, or reimagine the infrastructure for grass-fed beef, dry-aged steaks, organic hay production, or a farm-to-table event venue for weddings and retreats. The two guest spaces already generate strong rental revenue and enhance the property's appeal for hospitality use.
