We ordered the four tier cheese wedding cake from them for our wedding on 29th December and it was the best experience. Lyn particularly was absolutely amazing and gave us advice and guided us through the process and a delicious tasting. All of the cheese was eaten after 2 days of celebration! And everyone commented on how delicious it was. Couldn't recommend more!

Four Decades of Farmhouse Cheese

We began making farmhouse cheese in the heart of Northumberland in 1984, starting with a single ewe's milk cheese in the Rede Valley. Four decades on, we still craft every award-winning cheese by hand at our dairy on Blagdon Estate.
