THE DAIRY SHOP.
We're open daily from 10.00am til 4.00pm. Closed Good Friday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
The tasting room offers a daily selection of cheeses at their peak of perfection for you to sample before making your selection. We have a range of local produce, including chutneys and relishes, vinegars, juices, cheese pastes, fruits and wines. The cheeses are made to traditional recipes that still taste like real cheese straight from the farm with no artificial flavours or preservatives.
We have an under cover courtyard cafe where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine with a cheese platter amidst Rosco's beautiful Bonsai garden. Cheese platters are available to eat here (design your own), or take back to your accomodation after a long tiring day of wine tasting. Ask for our free cold packs if you're travelling around all day. We want you to get it home cool and not squashed. Remember to eat your cheese at room temperature. ABOUT US
Rosco and Karen have been farming dairy and beef cattle collectively for over 60 years. They are passionate about producing food of the highest quality. Rosco milks his herd of Jersey cows (he calls them his super models, they're slim, have pretty faces and big boobs) daily and sends it into the farm's cheesemaking room, where Karen spends her day stirring the cauldron and caring for the finished product. THE FARM
We bought the farm as an ex apple orchard in 2005 and set about converting it into a dairy farm. We converted the orchards into legume based pasture, built a walk in dairy (yes we use machines) , built the cheesemaking rooms and four cold rooms and then the shop and outdoor eating area. Kids are always welcome to come a watch the milking at about 7am. (phone first please)
