HCBG custom built Lilloeet Sheep & Cheesery on an existing historic farm property. The new cheesery is Massachusetts' first farmstead sheep milk cheesery.
The long side of the structure faces south for solar warmth. A solar array provides electricity essential to the cheese making.
Designed by architect Benjamin Nutter, the building is rooted in in the tradition of New England barns.
The barn side is sheathed in natural shingles and the cheesery side covered in white clapboard
The building is well insulated and features local wood products for both exterior and interior applications.
The sheep barn design required adequate space for a herd size of 100, including feed storage and flexible pens for when lambs are being born.
