Owned by Bob and Debbie Stetson, Westfield Farm is located on 20 acres of land, north of Worcester, in central Massachusetts. The farm was originally purchased in 1971 by Bob and Letty Kilmoyer who ran it as a cheesemaking operation until 1996, when the Stetsons bought the business. After one month's intensive apprenticeship with the Kilmoyers, they took over Westfield Farm and have continued and expanded production ever since.

Sourcing both goat's and cow's milk from local dairies, Westfield Farm produces slightly over 1,500lbs. of cheese per week.

Westfield Farm's Herb Garlic Chèvre is a very popular, 5oz. log that is made by mixing Westfield's fresh Capri with pressed garlic, parsely and thyme.

The texture is soft and light and studded with herbs and garlic. Flavors are sweet and well balanced with a fresh, lactic tang.
