Open Farm Sunday, Cabot Cheese and Local Flavor

McCadam Cheese Company and Cabot Creamery Cooperative - along with their 1,200 local farmers across upstate New York and New England - have together won every major taste award for their cheddar cheese – including the prestigious World Cheese Awards.

Now, those same farmers are opening their doors to thank the public during Open Farm Sunday, on Nov. 1 (that's this Sunday).

For details, go to www.OpenFarmSunday.com.

The public is welcome to celebrate the local flavor - and the farmers who work to make McCadam & Cabot Cheddar Cheese so delicious. (There are 29 participating working farms.)

Farmers “open their barn doors” to guests of all ages - meet the farmers, see their cows, sample McCadam and Cabot cheddar cheese.

For those who can’t make it on November 1, McCadam & Cabot have created a virtual ‘Open Farm’ where the public can visit the some McCadam & Cabot family farmers online starting Oct. 23 at www.OpenFarmSunday.com.

A list of all McCadam and Cabot Creamery Cooperative farms, located across New York and New England, are available at www.cabotcheese.coop.

Open Farm Sunday (in Connecticut) participants include: Joseph and Lois Greenbacker, 182 Wallingford Road, Durham; Tim Young, 210 Child Hill Road, Woodstock; and Larry and Meagan Hastings, 472 Hill St., Suffield.
