Francie 5 x 5 Von Trapp Tasting
March 11 2026 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM136 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11249
Join us for a singular tasting of the cheese of the Von Trapp Farmstead, with wines (and beer!) to match. Cheeses include Mt. Alice, Oma, and Mad River Blue.
The Sound of Music has made "von Trapp" a household name across generations. Werner and Erika von Trapp started the von Trapp Family Farm in Waitsfield, Vermont in 1959. Erika (lovingly called Oma, like the cheese made in her honor) had studied agriculture in Austria and was a main force behind establishing and growing the farm.
Now over 65 years later, von Trapp Farmstead produces sustainably raised meat and dairy; live-culture yogurt, and award-winning artisan cheese from our organic milk. Until his death in 2023, Martin, one of Werner and Erika's six children, and his wife Kelly operated the organic dairy. Now Martin and Kelly’s eldest son Sebastian and his wife Molly run the farm in addition to the creamery.
