THORNBY MOOR DAIRY -
http://www.thornbymoordairy.co.uk
Located within the outbuildings of the old Crofton Hall Estate near Thursby, eight miles west of Carlisle, Thornby Moor Dairy is run by Carolyn and Leonie Fairbairn.
Carolyn began making cheeses in 1979, using milk from her own small herd of goats.
A practical approach - reading recipes, a lot of trial and plenty of error, common sense and perseverance, has resulted in the development of their unique range of cheeses.
Integrity, good flavour and nutritional value are what Thornby Moor dairy always strive to achieve in the cheeses they sell.
Their aim... 'to capture the essence of Cumbria in the flavours of our cheeses'.
APPLEBY CREAMERY -
http://www.applebycreamery.com
Established in November 2007, Appleby Creamery made their first vat of hard cheese in May 2008 in a fully refurbished unit in the historic Westmorland market town of Appleby.
The team comprises Bob Parmley, Alan Mandle and Maurice Walton who together have over 70 years experience in the dairy industry.
They produce their own cheeses made from milk from very local herds along with goats and ewes milk both sourced in Cumbria.
MRS KIRKHAM'S LANCASHIRE CHEESE – http://www.mrskirkhams.com
Mrs Ruth Kirkham began making Lancashire Cheese at Beesley Farm over 30 years ago. This was a skill she had been taught by her own mother, making her the third generation of cheese maker in her family.
Hard work and persistence for quality has enabled the Kirkhams in the last 3 years to build a new state of the art milking parlour and Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire Cheese can now be found in most good deli' counters around the country or on the menu in your favourite restaurant.
Despite its success, it is still very much a family business. Apart from two full time members of staff, John Kirkham still milks the cows every day, while Ruth and son Graham still make the cheese between them, seven days a week.
