Ashbrook

Made by Spring Brook Farm · Reading, VT, USA

★ —Not rated yet

Made at Spring Brook Farm in Vermont, Ashbrook is the farm’s New England-inspired take on Morbier. Crafted with raw Jersey cow milk and aged for about three months, the cheese features a distinctive line of vegetable ash through the paste in homage to the traditional French style. Spring Brook Farm operates alongside Farms for City Kids, an educational nonprofit focused on connecting urban youth with agriculture, making the creamery deeply tied to both land and community.
