(\u201cUp-island\u201d is a term that locals use to refer to the three towns on the western end of the island. \u201cDown-island\u201d refers to the other three towns on the eastern end.) \u201cBack then, there were over 1,000 dairy cows up-island,\u201d Molly explains. \u201cEveryone would bring their milk here, and it would then go down-island to Katama to be made into butter and shipped out to Boston. But overtime the dairy industry faded out as the island became more of a tourist destination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These days, during the busy summer season, there are more celebrities than cows. After all, this is the island where Barack Obama, Larry David, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Spike Lee, Amy Schumer, and many other luminaries spend summers. Land is at a premium.<\/p>\n<p>When the Glasgows acquired their property, it had not been a working farm since 1961, but they were committed to sustaining the land for agricultural purposes. In 2012 Grey Barn became the second certified organic farm on the island\u2014and the only dairy farm to obtain the designation. \u201cOrganic certification brings us closer to the land and aligns with our values of sustainability and responsible practice,\u201d says Molly. \u201cIt\u2019s crucial to the farm\u2019s ethos that our practices give back to our land and to our animals, not extract from them. It\u2019s been our goal since day one to give our animals free, clean, and happy lives. Their lives allow us to live our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022_Molly-Glasgow_Grey-Barn_2021_Cows-in-early-Spring_016_007-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41522\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022_Molly-Glasgow_Grey-Barn_2021_Cows-in-early-Spring_016_007-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022_Molly-Glasgow_Grey-Barn_2021_Cows-in-early-Spring_016_007-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022_Molly-Glasgow_Grey-Barn_2021_Cows-in-early-Spring_016_007-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022_Molly-Glasgow_Grey-Barn_2021_Cows-in-early-Spring_016_007-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both Molly and Eric have long been interested in food and where their food comes from. \u201cEric was a chef in Chicago and wanted to go to culinary school, but his parents said, \u2018No, a nice Jewish boy goes to business school and becomes a banker!\u2019\u201d Molly says. \u201cAnd I always loved to bake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When they bought the farm, it was decided that Eric would oversee the business end of things and Molly would be the cheesemaker. \u201cNo one on the island was making cheese at the time. So, I went to cheesemaking classes at the University of Vermont. We bought some cows and got started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But not long afterwards, Molly began to have health issues. \u201cIt turned out that I have a dairy allergy and ulcerative colitis,\u201d she says. \u201cThen in 2013 we had a fire and the original creamery burned down. That same year my dad passed away, and it all felt like too much. I was done, but Eric wanted to rebuild. That\u2019s when Joe came into the picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Alstat, that is: The master cheesemaker at Grey Barn. At 7 a.m. on a September morning, Alstat and another cheesemaker, David Aeschliman, have been heating milk for about three hours. They are making a batch of Grey Barn\u2019s award-winning cheese, Prufrock. (All but a few of the cheeses are named after poems. In this case the name is a nod to \u201cThe Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock\u201d by T.S.

Would this cheese taste different if we made it in Vermont? Sure, but I\u2019m not sure how.
