The Right Stuff for Dad
The Bucket O' Stuff
Bucket O' Stuff  | Gone are the days when gifts were simple. For Dad, a tie. A cardigan. A matchbox car. Now it's all
African safaris or fantasy baseball camp or a limited edition combination espresso
maker/panini press. But look, here's the
thing: dads like stuff. Little stuff, big stuff, lots of stuff,
buckets of stuff. Could be a bunch of fishing stuff. Some
fixing-things stuff. Maybe even some
cool stuff from those infomercials on Sunday mornings. A successful gift of stuff has one very
important quality, though. Quantity. You want Dad to be
entertained looking through his stuff. You want to hear, "Look at this" and "How about that" and "I love this
stuff." Opening a gift of a tie takes
about 20 seconds. You're looking for a
good five minutes or so. Naturally, we're
here to help. Introducing the Bucket O' Stuff. You've got your Grafton Maple Smoked Cheddar wheel, your Grafton Four Star Four-Year Old Cheddar bar, your box of
Vermont Common Crackers, your jar of maple mustard, your hunk of Vermont Smoke
& Cure smoked pepperoni, your Vermont-shaped cutting board, and of course,
your slicer for cutting the cheese. We're
estimating about eight minutes of gift-giving, with another couple of minutes
of jokes thrown in for good measure.

Did You Know
Do You Care About Ingredients? We Do.
That's why we only use natural ingredients, even in our flavored cheddars.
· We don't use milk powders or condensed milk, just pure farm fresh milk that's delivered daily to our plants.
· U.S. cheese producers are not required to list milk powders and condensed milk in their ingredient statements. You may want to ask.
· We use real granulated garlic in our Garlic Cheddar; others use artificial garlic flavoring.
· We use Dalmatian sage rub and sage oil extract in our Sage Cheddar; others use artificial herb flavoring.
· We use pure horseradish extract in our new Horseradish Cheddar; others use artificial horseradish flavoring. (coming soon online)
· We smoke our Maple Smoked Cheddar with maple wood chips and add nothing else; others use artificial maple flavoring or liquid smoke.
