Our Farms

We're not just Cabot farmers, we're owners. Since 1919, we've worked to support local farmers so they can have a home for their milk, market their products, keep their land open, and give back to their communities.

Our Farmer Legacy

Every morning, Cabot farmers get up and get to work.

Every morning since 1919, when 94 families from Cabot, Vermont, formed a cooperative to ensure their livelihood. They knew that they were stronger together than they were apart.

Today, Cabot’s farm families still have each other’s backs.

As do the 1,000+ people we employ across four creameries in three states. Supporting each other is what a cooperative is all about. We give everything we have to this life.


For our kids, our cows, our land, our communities. For the pride we take in producing the finest cheese and dairy products in the world. That’s our legacy.


But all you really need to know about Cabot history can be tasted in every slice of cheddar, side of sour cream, and spoonful of yogurt. That taste! That’s what comes from doing it the right way, every day, since 1919.
