Ploughgate Creamery Butter isn’t just any butter — it’s the kind of small-batch, cultured butter that makes you wonder what you’ve been spreading on your toast all these years. It all started with Marisa Mauro, a dairy maverick who got her start at 15 and never looked back. After cutting her teeth in cheesemaking and teaming up with Vermont’s finest, she took her game to the next level, landing on a hilltop farm in the Mad River Valley and putting her hands into crafting artisanal butter like nobody else in the game.
Fast forward to 2022, and Ploughgate’s demand was off the charts. Enter Maplebrook Farm and Marisa’s longtime friend, Mike Scheps. Together, they scaled up production while keeping every ounce of that rich, creamy goodness that put Ploughgate on the map. They’re Vermont born-and-bred, and with this partnership, they’re ensuring that butter lovers everywhere get a taste of true dairy artistry. Cultured, hand-crafted, and steeped in tradition — Ploughgate Creamery Butter is what butter dreams are made of.
