Spotlight on Boston Post Dairy
Nestled in the picturesque town of Enosburg Falls, Vermont, just across from the scenic Missisquoi River and offering views of stunning Jay Peak, lies Boston Post Dairy—a charming, family-run farm rich in history and heart. The dairy gets its name from the historic Boston Post Stagecoach Road, which still runs directly through the property.
Boston Post Dairy is owned and operated by Robert and Gisele Gervais, along with their three daughters—Anne, Theresa, and Susan. Farming has been a lifelong passion for the Gervais family, who began their agricultural journey in 1962. With a family of 15 children, Robert and Gisele built a strong foundation rooted in hard work, tradition, and a love for the land.
In 2007, the Gervais family purchased Boston Post Dairy, expanding their vision to include a cheese-making facility and a quaint retail store. Here, visitors can purchase a variety of artisanal goods made right on the farm, including handcrafted cheeses, goat milk soaps, maple syrup, and fresh bakery items.
Among the cheeses crafted here, their pasteurized goat’s milk feta stands out, aged in brine for over six months to develop a bold, salty tang that intensifies with time. This exceptional cheese earned first place at the 2018 American Cheese Society Awards, a testament to the skill and passion behind every batch.
Another local favorite is Tres Bonne, a goat milk Gouda aged just long enough to give it a smooth, nutty flavor and a creamy texture that makes it easy to love. For those drawn to something softer and richer, the farm’s Brie offers a buttery, mushroomy finish that melts beautifully into baked dishes or pairs effortlessly with sweet or savory bites.
One of the unique features of the farm is the cheese room, designed with viewing windows so guests can observe the fascinating cheese-making process firsthand. During the warmer months, visitors are invited to meet the farm’s friendly goats and chickens, adding a special interactive element to the experience.
Boston Post Dairy is more than just a farm—it’s a testament to family dedication, Vermont heritage, and the simple joys of rural life.
