About Us  
             
             
  A little bit of history and our vision for the rebirth of the local economy.   Tunnel Cheese Factory   The Villecco Brothers cheese factory in Tunnel made butter, ricotta and parmesan with milk from small farms that dotted the local landscape. Within a generation after WW II, the cheese factory and most of the farms were gone. The control over the market by the mega food companies effectively hollowed out the local economy. Our interest in producing labels for farmers stems from our own commitment to the revival of the local farm economy and sustainable agriculture.  
             
             
             
  Our farm, Whistle-Stop Gardens produced vegetables and herbs for a 40-family CSA.  
The driving force behind sustainable agriculture are the consumers who are seeking out high-quality, locally-produced food that has integrity and taste. We operated a 40-family Community Supported Agriculture Project (Whistle-Stop Gardens CSA) from 1994 to 2006 on our 80-acre farm, just down the road from the cheese factory. We were able to connect our CSA members with regional farms who were marketing poultry, lamb, pork, beef and cheese. Three American Milking Devons, laying hens and broilers round out our diverse farm.   Harvesting Garlic
 
             
             
             
  Rebuilding the local economy by helping family-owned farms thrive is part of our mission.
