The Luces are the second, third and fourth generations to live on this land. Jack and Marion Ayres bought the farm in 1945 with a dream to make a go of country living. They were the first folks in Vermont to start packaging cheese in waxed bars so they would travel well without refrigeration. By 1975 the Boston Globe wrote about Sugarbush Farm "At the end of a scenic Vermont road lies a Cheese Lovers paradise." In 1995 the American Cheese Society awarded Sugarbush Farm a Blue ribbon for the best smoked cheese in the country. You must visit the shop on premises and try their wonderful cheeses, maple syrups and other products. The Ayres are some of the friendliest people we've met!<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Directions</span><br /><br />Find your way to Sugarbush Farm.
