Actually, Shelburne Farms was the home of Eliza Vanderbilt Webb, her younger bother George Vanderbilt built the Biltmore estate in NC. She was known as the 'lesser known' Vanderbilt. This family though is so fascinating – worth a good read or a summer study! From Cornelius Vanderbilt and his railroad fortune, to his 13 children, to Cornelius Vanderbilt II, Gloria Vanderbilt to her son Anderson Cooper. So fascinating!

Hi Dee! If you ever find yourself in Vermont, you really should pay them a visit – so friendly and both stores are full of interesting products and plants. Of course, you would have to stop by and see us too! You are always welcome!

I've been to the Biltmore house in North Carolina, but didn't know the Vanderbilts had an estate in Vermont. Definitely looks like a fun place to check out. How awesome to go to Gardener's Supply Co's headquarters! I am also a huge fan of their tomato cages and buy a couple more every year. Going to remember this area for a future vacation!

Hi Linus. I added a second picture of the Barr Hill logo. Funny, because I loved that photo which was out of focus, but I understand if you can't see the logo. You can also check their website for additional info. As to the low pasteurization – it's my understanding that all cheese aged less than 60 days in the US must be pasturized. I will need to check with specific producers to see if their alpine or older cheese were low pasturized (I assume many were, but I never asked the question). Good point, though! Le me find out more.

Also, is there another picture for "Barr Hill Gin" you can post? The current picture, the focus is near the front, not the bottle (and person holding it).
