About

A shoppe built on one promise

Curds & Whey opened in 2012 to bring local gastronomical delights to your table, and the shoppe on Birch Hill Road still runs on that idea today.

The promise is simple: every product gets tasted before it is placed on the shelf, so freshness is guaranteed before you ever pay for it.

Inside the shoppe: the curved glass display case, farmhouse tables, Edison bulbs, and the front door marked 20 in afternoon sun
