Wow, My wife and I visited Shelburne farms in early June and enjoyed the cheese tasting, and getting the farm tour seeing the browns get milked. It was so lush and green at that time. We live north of Binghamton in Chenango county with a robust dairy farming community. Amazing how a few hundred miles away it was hotter and drier. One could say we had to much rain this year and south of us in Pennsylvania they suffered severe flooding. My brother lives just miles away from Shelburne Museum and as we talked over the summer he kept mentioning how hot and dry it was. Best of luck with keeping the wonderful swiss browns happy and churning out the milk that makes your world class chedder cheese.
