I discovered Sweet Rowen Farmstead's amazing cheeses when I was at the Farmers Market in Burlington…read morea few weeks ago. I love cheese, so I tend to try a lot of them. I wasn't expecting anything special (there are so many cheddars in Vermont) but Sweet Rowen's cheeses were right up my alley in terms of taste, freshness and novelty. Utterly sublime, creamy and delicious. According to Sweet Rowen's cheese vendor at the market and its website, Sweet Rowen is a grass-based, family owned and operated dairy farm located in the North East Kingdom of Vermont, about 20 miles south of the Canadian border. It milks a small herd of Randall Lineback cattle, a heritage Vermont breed and feeds them the hay that it grows on their land. Sweet Rowen began selling milk in 2011. In 2012, it built its own creamery, enabling them to bottle their milk on-site and sell it locally. The creamery now sells small batches of non-homogenized milk and fresh cheese. For those of you not in the know, homogenization is a process in which hot milk is pumped at high pressure through very small nozzles, tearing fat globules into tiny particles and evenly dispersing them throughout the milk. When milk is non-homogenized, the cream is left in its whole form. This allows for a natural creamy taste that is lost through homogenization. I tried their Farmer's Cheese, Wood Nettle, Mountain Ash and Storm varieties. All were soft. The Wood Nettle was a fresh chevre-style cheese rolled in dried nettles and salt and was absolutely delicious. The Farmer's Cheeses were soft, cream cheese-style cheeses, each unique and tantalizing. The Mountain Ash was a form of Camembert cheese that was dusted with ash. So good. And the Storm cheese was the same as the Ash but without the ash. My boyfriend who is a big fan of French cheeses, loved the Ash and Storm, as did I. All of the cheeses were buttery, nutty and divine. If you are lucky enough to be able to attend the Burlington Farmers Market this summer, I highly recommend that you sample and buy these delicious and remarkable cheeses. Sweet Rowen will also be at the Shelburne Cheesemakers Festival. I'm happy that I will be there, too!

Two of the cheeses really stand out; Mountain Ash a beautifully ash dusted cheese soft and smooth insanely tasty, we paired it with a Chardonnay and it disappeared fast. The other softer and with a bit cream just under its bloomy rind was storm and my wife seems to be hoarding it for herself. I'll just have to up the order next time.

They also offer a CSA where you can receive organic fruits and vegetables on a weekly basis when in season. At the company farm, there is a farm stand where you can buy their products along with a selection of other locally made and grown products. The selection is good and the prices are what you would expect to pay for high quality Vermont grown organic products. They accept cash, checks and credit cards. I believe the farm stand shuts down in the winter. If you stop, check out the plants growing on the roof of the farm stand.

Not only are the veggies top-rate, but through their amazing connections we get the best bread, meat, eggs, cheese, milk, and pantry items that Vermont (and sometimes Quebec and neighboring states) has to offer, including apples, honey, cornmeal, vinegar, jam, etc. With "real food" becoming harder to find, we rely on this farm to provide and source us soil-grown and pasture-raised organic products that we feel good about. We've only visited the farm store itself a handful of times, but it's well-stocked and always a treat.

The owner, Mike, designs and installs the field himself with his family and is often the one out in the maze available to give guidance or encouragement (or a reminder of how to take the emergency exits to the bathroom!) Tips: - pay attention to the hours. Entry isn't available all afternoon. - you will be hiking. It's on a hill in the sun. It always takes us at least three hours if you do the full maze and you'll be warm! Wear good shoes, cool clothes and sunscreen. - you can do the hour long scenic maze if you want to see all the things without having to figure out the maze and risk spending an hour going in circles ‍ - you cannot figure out this maze by going all right or all left. The design changes every year and it's impressively large with so many routes. Things to know: - maze is most difficult in August before the corn starts drying. Serious mazers go in August and September. October the corn is more see-through and there are lots of foliage tourists. - the hillbilly golf after the maze is a lot of fun. So silly
