Llaeth Derlwyn

20/03/2026

For those of you who have visited our vending machines on the farm recently you already know. If you haven’t visited during the last month, we have an important announcement, we will be closing from the 22nd March.

We will be taking time to reflect on how to move our diversification business forward.

We intend to continue attending local fairs with Golden Hooves cheese and crackers.

We have met many of you over the years and you will know it is just us; Hefin, Beth and our three young children. We are currently in a very busy period of our lives as many families go through, and a lot of our time is taken up with taxi of mum and dad. Our children are enjoying being busy with their netball, football and rugby teams as well as other activities. We are wanting to enjoy this time as a family as the children are growing so quickly.

Our cows and calves remain our priority as we continue to farm regeneratively.

We’d like to thank you for your support over the past 4 years, we have greatly appreciated each and every one of you. We will keep you posted through our social media, Facebook and Instagram, , of our next steps.

Hefin and Beth

I'r rhai ohonoch sydd wedi ymweld â'n peiriannau gwerthu ar y fferm yn ddiweddar, rydych chi eisoes yn gwybod. Os nad ydych chi wedi ymweld yn ystod y mis diwethaf, mae gennym gyhoeddiad pwysig, byddwn yn cau o'r 22ain o Fawrth.

Byddwn yn cymryd amser i fyfyrio ar sut i symud ein busnes arallgyfeirio ymlaen.

Rydym yn bwriadu parhau i fynychu ffeiriau lleol gyda chaws a chraceri Golden Hooves.

Rydym wedi cwrdd â nifer ohonoch dros y blynyddoedd a byddwch yn gwybod mai dim ond ni ydyw; Hefin, Beth a'n tri phlentyn ifanc. Rydym ar hyn o bryd mewn cyfnod prysur iawn yn ein bywydau fel y mae llawer o deuluoedd yn mynd drwyddo, ac mae llawer o'n hamser yn cael ei dreulio yng nghartrefi mam a dad. Mae ein plant yn mwynhau bod yn brysur gyda'u timau pêl-rwyd, pêl-droed a rygbi yn ogystal â gweithgareddau eraill. Rydym am fwynhau'r amser hwn fel teulu gan fod y plant yn tyfu mor gyflym.

Mae ein buchod a'n lloi yn parhau i fod yn flaenoriaeth i ni wrth i ni barhau i ffermio'n adfywiol.

Hoffem ddiolch i chi am eich cefnogaeth dros y 4 blynedd diwethaf, rydym wedi gwerthfawrogi pob un ohonoch yn fawr. Byddwn yn eich diweddaru trwy ein cyfryngau cymdeithasol, Facebook ac Instagram, , o'n camau nesaf.

Hefin a Beth

We know you love Golden Hooves cheese available 24/7 on the farm. Some exciting news, the Vintage Cheese has recently won awards at the Global Cheese Awards:
🥇Best British & Irish Creamery Cheddar
🥇UK Supreme Champion

🏆 We’re celebrating!

For the second time in just four years, a First Milk cheese was named a Supreme Champion at last week’s Global Cheese Awards.

A vintage cheddar from our Haverfordwest Creamery claimed:
🥇 Best British & Irish Creamery Cheddar
🥇 UK Supreme Champion

Alongside these special awards, First Milk picked up a total of 28 medals, receiving 8 gold, 10 silver, and 10 bronze across our full range of hard cheeses.

Our continued success in awards such as these is thanks to skilled colleagues across the business, as well as our farmer members whose high-quality milk is central to these achievements.
