To experience the "Harman Tradition" you'll want to head to the small town of Sugar Hill in New Hampshire.
They found their store in 1954. At around the same time, they also met a man who told they he'd recently come across a store of "forgotten" cheese. Knowing the value of aged cheese, John jumped at the chance to own it and purchased nearly half a ton for about .54 cents a pound.
Using his skills in advertising, John began his own mail order business. Word spread and the Harman cheese became known as the "World’s Greatest" Cheddar Cheese."
From there, a business began!
Harman's Cheese & Country store has been a thriving part of the community ever since.
