2019 Champlain Valley Local Food & Farm Guide Page 7 The next Orb Weavers: Cheese legends are passing the torch in New Haven

By Charlie Mitchell & Miyo McGinn In the late 1970s, two women moved to Vermont looking for land. All they wanted was to grow food for themselves and their neighbors, and for 40 years, they did just that, selling milk, vegetables, and a unique farmhouse cheese that became somewhat legendary. As of this past winter, they’ve stopped milking and making cheese. Instead, they are taking walks in afternoon light they’ve never seen before on their farm on Lime Kiln Road in New Haven. “We can take a walk, at like three o’clock in the afternoon, and there’s a whole world out there!” marvels Marjorie Susman. She and her longtime partner, Marian Pollack, have owned Orb Weaver Farm since 1981. “I mean, not everybody milks cows: it’s astounding.” Cheesemaker Kate Turcotte, left, and livestock breeding specialist Zack Munzer are Making cheese in the cave, milking morning and night, and proud to assume the Orb Weaver Farm legacy of longtime local foods producers Marjorie rotating the pasture are responsibilities that now belong to Kate Susman and Marian Pollack.

Susman adds. That faith landed them the property in the first place. When the couple arrived to work as dairy hands in the late ’70s, “we thought it was just going to be a stop along the way,” describing the house as a “falling down hovel.” But then their landlords, Jim and Margaret Morse, decided to relocate to Virginia, and offered to mortgage the land to Susman and Pollack. Money was the only obstacle, and they faced some discrimina- tion getting loans. “We got laughed out of a few FHA offices ini- tially,” remembers Pollack. They managed to secure the first loan ever made by the Vermont Economic Development Authority, two weeks after being denied. “I think they didn’t find anybody as qualified as us,” Susman said. With the VEDA loan, another grant from a no-interest lending program for beginning farmers through the Stockbridge School of Agriculture out of UMass Amherst, and flexible financing from the Morse family, Orb Weaver Farm was born. “It seemed like things were just falling into place,” says Susman. For years, the couple shipped commodity milk from a small herd, grew vegetables for the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op and a handful of restaurants, and made farmhouse cheese from the milk in their dairy. They were proud of the cycle they created by making cheese from the cows they milked and building up their The new Orb Weaver owners, Kate Turcotte and Zack Munzer, worked with Marjorie soil with the manure.

We know that people buy this as their table cheese, or the cheese they put in their kid’s sandwich and stuff like that.” Despite a shared appreciation for handcrafted cheese, Turcotte comes at cheesemaking differently from her predecessors. “I’m more of a science-based cheesemaker,” she says. “Marjorie, a lot of it for her is feel and smell and taste and everything like that, whereas for me I’m used to like temperature, pH, graphs and all that kind of stuff.” Turcotte appreciates that these differences have ultimately been complementary instead of conflicting. “Learning to make cheese from [Marjorie] has strengthened me as a cheesemaker. Because those are skillsets that you don’t get when you take a class.” The process hasn’t been easy for the incoming or out- going couple. For Pollack and Susman, selling Orb Weaver means leaving the operation they built nearly from scratch. “This whole thing has been “Learning to make cheese so emotional, and so bitter- sweet,” reflects Susman. “Here from [Marjorie] has we are, we’re too old to do strengthened me as a what we’ve been doing for the past 40 years.” cheesemaker.

They make new discoveries, even if it’s something like snails consuming their hopeful goods. It teaches them about life sciences and life cycles, and the effects and importance of weather year-round.” Smith’s Farm to ECE committee is developing a curriculum for the program, and this year they’re planning four workshops: • Playing with Wool (spring). • Grains and Bread (summer). • Apples (autumn). • Sprouts and Microgreens (winter). They’re also developing workshop-related kits to share with ECE providers.

CAFETERIA ACORN Executive Director Lynn Coale has been helping create Farm to ECE’s food distribution plan. “We asked ourselves, ‘How can we interact with farmers to get fresh fruits and veggies and how can we work with cafe staff to prepare them?’” Coale said. Farm to ECE plans to establish connections with local farms like Golden Russet in Shoreham and Elmer Farm in Middlebury, and with local food distributors like Middlebury Foods. But answering this initial question immediately leads to other Abel Trombley stretches for just the right apple during a trip to a local orchard.

Say Hello To The Cannabis Plant (See Hemp, page 42) Fifty years of hemp prohibition ended with the 2018 Farm Bill, and CBD is on the rise. Hemp it turns out grows very well in NORTHERN Vermont.

CBD or cannabidiol is a non-intoxicating compound found in all varieties 1/4 Northern Roots of the cannabis plant. CBD may be the latest hemp revelation, and it won’t be the last. Cannabis sativa goes by lots of unscientific names, with hemp and marijuana being the most common. Both have CBD but what legally sets them apart is the amount of euphoria-producing THC or tetrahydrocannabinol in each variety. By current legal definition, hemp can contain no more than 0.3 percent THC by dry weight (a trace amount). This is an arbitrary quantity of THC that legally HEMP STARTS distinguishes hemp from marijuana, which is cannabis that measures over 0.3 percent THC.

Hemp continued from page 42 a day of filling jars. John pointed out, “I’ve been taking our CBD caps daily for two years… they really help me over the afternoon hump.” This sounded strikingly familiar. As I was saying goodbye to Carl earlier, I asked about his experience using NEP’s extracts. “No question,” Carl told me, “having daily access to our CBD helps with stress relief.” A pattern of craftsmanship and “product benefit” among these entrepreneurs was emerging. I reached out for additional confirmation to MP Labs in Burlington. They buy or processes Vermont-grown hemp for others, and to supply the main ingredient to their own CBD line, Mansfield Provisions. Following a common theme, “transparency is key,” all their products are also third-party tested. For partners Kyle Rapoza, and Drew Kaigle, having steady access to their own supply of CBD has been a real benefit of starting the two companies (Drew has been hampered by sports-related pain). Tim Ruarks, the third partner, solidly confirmed my realization that regular CBD use is soothing for entrepreneurs and their families. Said Tim, “40 mg of our tincture every morning in my coffee not only helps me with the stress of running the business, it’s helping me to raise my one-year-old, and I’m sleeping better.” The last stop on this Vermont Tour de Hemp was with organic farmers Rebecca and Joe Pimentel, who started Luce Farm Wellness in Stockbridge.

By Lindsey Berk The word “culture” is at the very heart of the word “agriculture.” Anthropologists and historians agree that as a species, humans did not create civilizations until the advent of agriculture, which then enabled people to start living in cities. We quite literally cannot have one without the other. Lydia Clemmons, one of the second generation of the Clemmons family on the eponymous farm based in Charlotte, recognizes the importance of culture and how it helps to not only define a person’s uniqueness, but also acts as a connector across differences. “I’ve spent most of my adult life working in rural communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa where diversity and culture are sources of pride and joy,” reflects Lydia. “It’s exciting to bring that perspective home to Vermont.
