The milk

We use single herd, organic cow’s milk produced here on Manor Farm to make our cheeses.

Every morning we collect our milk from the milking parlour situated at the heart of the farm and bring it back to our creamery, less than a mile away.

Manor Farm runs a low input, organic system, following regenerative agricultural practices.

The farm has been run along these lines for nearly 20 years, and was one of the first to start using diverse herbal leys as an integral part of it’s system, and focusing on soil’s structure and health, and the farm’s biodiversity.

The farm’s herd comprises of a mix of British and continental dairy breeds, including Dairy Shorthorn, British Friesian, Fleckvieh, Normandie, Brown Swiss, and Norwegian Reds, selected and bred for the quality of their milk for our cheesemaking, and their suitability to the farm’s location.

We believe the milk produced at Manor Farm to be exceptional in it’s flavour potential for our cheesemaking.
