Story
Harbison is a Jasper Hill original. The cheese gets its name from Anne Harbison, affectionately
known as the grandmother of Greensboro. She’s active in our community, runs a bed and
breakfast, works in the public library, and is delighted that we’re honoring her with a namesake
cheese. Each wheel is cinched with a strip of spruce cambium, or interior bark layer, harvested from Jasper Hill’s woodlot. This technique adds woodsy nuance to the ripening cheese, while providing structure as the
interior softens to a gooey texture when fully ripe. When a bit younger, the bark can be peeled away for sliced portioning. If the bark has fused with a more loosened paste, then its best to leave the bark intact and spoon out portions from the top.
Producer
Jasper Hill Farm is the pinnacle of American artisan cheese and we are
delighted to have their cheeses at Sheridans Cheesemongers.
Located in the idyllic Vermont country side, Jasper Hill Farm is committed to
producing the highest quality cheeses with great respect for their herd and
the north east landscape. As pioneers in the American artisan cheese
industry, they strive to set new standards for quality and innovation while
celebrating the region's distinctive terroir.
From the outset, brothers Andy and Mateo knew their farm had to stand out,
and envisioned a model of small-scale dairy farming turning raw milk into
premium farmhouse cheese. They set to work, fixed up the farm, built a
creamery and caves for aging. The start was challenging but over the years,
and through partnerships with Cabot Creamery, they have become
Americas finest cheese producers.
The partnership with Cabot Creamery helped Jasper Hill Farm grow their
farm and innovate. Their farm works as an interconnected nutrient recycling
system between the soil, the crops, the animals. They developed an on-site
microbiology lab to understand their cheeses' terroir and fully adapt their
conventional farm into raw milk cheese production. Additionally, they
produce all their own feed on-site, ensuing high-quality ingredients despite
the region's harsh conditions. Together, these initiatives help Jasper Hill Farm
sustainably produce wonderful farmhouse cheese in the American countryside.
