Great Brook Butter

Named after Great Brook that meanders through the town of Walpole, New Hampshire, the Creamery was started in Spring of 2022 with the goal of making dairy products from local land made available to people as a local food.

Why Local?

Local foods are nearly always of a higher degree of quality compared to their commercial commodity counterparts. The second half of the 20th century was a time where our culture lost sight of the important and life affirming properties Quality has on our lives and the main focus for production was increase in volume.

What We Do...

Our butter is produced in small batches and sourced from a herd of Jersey cattle on the farm down the road. After the milk is brought up the road to the creamery, it is run through a cream separator that takes the cream off the milk. The cream is then pasteurized before being slowly churned into butter before it is salted and hand packaged with care.

It takes roughly 20 pounds of milk to make a pound of butter, and the skimmed milk left over is fed to our herd of pigs that relish every sip to grow happy and well, becoming our Milk-fed and Pastured Pork.

A Butter Life

Churned from fresh cream,

encompassing the beauty of the fields, pastures, and motherly nature of the cows that bring it to life,

Inviting, nurturing and a true insight to the senses, you'll notice the difference when it comes to baking, frying and spreading. The classical churning methods we use to make the butter give it a richer texture and the final product contains less water. We like to identify this difference as a measurable increase in Quality.
