History
-
The Cabot Creamery's roots began in 1919 when 94 farmers in Vermont joined together to purchase the village creamery. Here they began producing butter under the name of Rosedale. In 1930 the company expanded and began producing cheddar. In the 1980s, the Rosedale creamery dropped its name and became the Cabot Creamery. In 1989, the Cabot Creamery took first place for its cheddar at the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company is still 100 percent farmer family-owned today.
