Caromont Farm


Caromont Farm is located 23 miles South of Charlottesville, Virginia, in the heart of Virginia’s Monticello Wine Region.

Chef and cheesemaker Gail Hobbs Page has produced award winning goat’s milk cheeses since 2007. After many years of cooking professionally with renowned chefs such as Edna Lewis and Ben and Karen Barker, Gail set her sights on farming and cheesemaking. She studied artisan cheesemaking at UVM in Burlington Vermont, and has worked with award winning cheesemakers from The Cellars at Jasper Hill, Grey Barn Creamery, and Uplands Creamery. Her food and farming philosophy is time honored --- delicious and nutritious food comes from animals that eat and live well. Gail’s goats are raised on the sustainable principles of grass-based holistic management. This practice creates vibrant full flavored cheeses of place.

In addition to cheese, Caromont Farm also raises whey fed, woodland raised pork and pasture raised beef on a small, seasonal scale.

Caromont Farm and their cheeses have been featured in The Washington Post, Food and Wine Magazine, and Culture Magazine, as well as on PBS, the CBS Evening News, and international cooking shows. Gail’s proudest moment was being selected as one of Virginia’s “Women in Food” for the Southern Foodways Alliance in 2013. She continues to live and work on her farm making cheese, teaching “Authentic Food” culinary classes, and spending time with her goats.

We hope you enjoy our efforts.
