Cheesemaking as a Calling with Molly Semler of Von Trapp Farmstead
Episode 7
Monday, 19 January, 2026
We're closing out the season with one of our favorite interviews so far, with Molly Semler of Von Trapp Farmstead. Molly is a cheesemaking dynamo—she and her husband Sebastian have brought their historic dairy farm outside Waitsfield, Vermont into its third generation with incredible, award-winning organic cheeses like Oma and Mad River Blue. Sue and Stef got into some pretty deep topics with Molly—how cheesemaking went from a dream to a vocation, the many pivots this farmstead creamery has had to make to survive in the market, the reason they went for Real Organic Project certification, and finding the balance between motherhood and cheesemaking. We hope you enjoy the interview, and stay tuned for updates on our next season!LINKS: More on Von Trapp Farmstead / InstagramMore on Birchrun Hills Farm / InstagramMore on Valley Milkhouse / InstagramMore on Alex / Instagram
