Smith’s Country Cheese has been a family-owned-and-operated, working dairy farm and creamery for over thirty years. Our 200 Holstein cows live a happy life on 43 rural acres in Winchendon, MA. Here at Smith’s, old-fashioned family traditions and hard work are combined to produce our award-winning farmstead Gouda, cheddar, and Havarti cheeses. We use traditional recipes and fresh, raw milk from our farm to make delicious, artisanal cheeses.

At Smith’s Country Cheese, we’ve made a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint. Our grid-tied photovoltaic solar system offsets over 70% of our hot water and 30% of our electrical usage costs by using the energy of the sun. We make our own compost from cow manure, famously known as “Otter River Black Gold” to manage our farm waste in a green way (check out what it does for your lawn and garden!). We happily welcome visitors to shop our country gift shop, visit the cows, and watch us make cheese (oh yes, and sample it too!).

Each day, our family is committed to providing the best care for our cows, making quality cheeses for our customers, and taking care of the environment that has given us so much. We invite you to experience the delightful difference in true local, farmstead cheese.
