We're talking to the author of a new history of butter, and checking in with some Vermont buttermakers perfecting the craft.
Elaine Khosrova is the author of the new book, Butter: A Rich History.
Marisa Mauro is owner of Ploughgate Creamery in Fayston.
Lisa McCrory is co-owner of Earthwise Farm and Forest in Bethel.
