Neighborly Farms
Neighborly farm's dairy operation dates back to the mid 1920's. Robert and Linda Dimmick, took over the farm in 1990 from Rob's parents and transitioned to organic practices shortly afterwards. The Dimmick family has a deep-rooted passion for their surroundings, nestled in the rolling hills of Vermont. Neighborly Farms is an organic, solar-powered farm that runs in complete harmony with the land and the animals. There are no antibiotics, no hormones, and no commercial fertilizers – just pure and natural techniques to keep the cows healthy and happy. They have chosen to use sustainable practices that best care for the earth, their cows, and their neighbors in both this generation and generations to come. The result is wholesome, chemical-free milk used to craft the highest quality cheese.
Colby Jack– Two Time Award Winner and All-Time Favorite
This artisanal, organic Colby was Neighborly Farm’s first blue ribbon winning cheese. It’s cheery orange color, mild, sweet and nutty flavor, and creamy texture makes it a favorite among kids and adults alike!
Colby is an American original that was invented in Colby, Wisconsin. Colby cheese is a cheddar that is not “cheddared”, which is a process where the curds are let to sit together for a few hours after they coagulate and begin to knit together into a hard, solid mass. This allows the Colby cheese to be a softer, milder cousin to Cheddar cheese.
