Seven generations in the making

At Woodlawn Creamery, we make cheese that combines the best of old world knowledge with pure Vermont creativity, ingenuity, and hard work. Our cheese tells the story of our place, from the curves of the beautiful Mettawee Valley and the mountains all around us to the legacy of farming and craftsmanship that have defined our community for generations.

Read more about who we are.

Pawlet

Woodlawn’s original rockstar—and also our home—Pawlet is a washed rind farmstead cheese; Italian style with a Vermont twist. Creamy, flavorful, and full of brothy, umami deliciousness.

Aged 3+ Months

Oxbow

Based on our smooth and creamy Southwind curd, Oxbow is a little beauty, made in 6 lb wheels, aged 60 days and then lightly apple-wood smoked.

Aged 2+ Months

Woodlawn Cheese

Rupert

Rupert is a glorious Green Mountain Alpine, nutty, sweet, and smooth, with just a hint of fruitiness. Designed to be the star of your cheeseboard.

Aged 6+ Months and Limited Reserve Aged 12+ Months

2026 ACS Award Winner - 3rd Place

Emerson

Emerson is the purest taste of our farming legacy—a bright, light, refreshing farmer’s cheese that has a place in literally every meal.

Fresh, Not Aged

2026 ACS Award Winner - 3rd Place

2026 Food Food Award

Southwind

Mild, milky, and designed to melt, Southwind is Woodlawn’s answer to raclette—creamy, rich, supple, and scrumptious. Named for the beautiful 6th generation farm next door in Rupert where this recipe originated.

Aged 2+ Months

Brimstone - Fall 2026

A Vermont take on Morbier—mild and sweet, with notes of toast and nuttiness, and a beautiful line of vegetable ash through the center of every wheel.

Aged 2+ Months

Can’t help but have happy thoughts here in Louisville for the @american_cheese_society conference! So many great cheese people, so much incredible cheese, never enough time. Thanks, as always, for the incredible shepherding we get from @vtche
HUGE shout out to the incredible folks at @cafeeuphoria518 in Troy, NY who saved my @$$ today at the @troymarket I showed up without my cheese knife (because it had come home a different way from the food shows in New York), and with a wire cutter
Arm day? Leg day? Nope, cave day. #allhailpawlet #womenofwoodlawn
This is a goofy picture but I’m gonna share it because it’s kind of how I feel about having three of our cheeses (Pawlet, Rupert, and Oxbow) debuting at @murrayscheese counters. (That would be delighted disbelief.) Also, as ridiculous a
Yesterday, it’s all sampling cheese and talking shop in NYC and today it’s back to being the wedger in chief. #wefancy @specialtyfoodassociation @goodfoodfdn #vermontcheese #smallbusinessowner
What happens when you take both Kate and Leslie out of Vermont and put them in New York City at the Javits center for two simultaneous food shows? Two introverts setting up nearly identical tables and getting ready to talk to A LOT of people. 😬😬😬
Hey that’s Jesse from @provisionsintl showcasing our beautiful washed rind Italian toma, Pawlet, at the @southroyaltonmarket We LOVE sharing our cheese—demo it up! #yepthatspawlet #vermontcheese
Well, will you look at that. @l_tyminski making the @culturecheese list of 20 people redefining cheese makes all the sense in the world—we, on the other hand, clearly made the list by association. 😉 Such a joy to work together, be part of th
Another lovely summer market weekend! I (farmer’s wife) had a crazy (if gusty) day at the @troymarket — and you could also find our cheese at markets today in Rutland, VT, and the Sunnyside and Tribeca @grownycgreenmarket locations. Tomor
