Our Cheesemakers

The members of West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers are united in protecting our farming heritage and the time-honoured skills essential to the production of premium farmhouse cheese. Because this cheese is made on our farms we can take the time and care necessary to create the very highest quality product. We still use traditional methods and our own West Country milk, so each one of our cheeses has a character all its own. Discover more about our dairies and the people who run them...
