We are Tom and Clare Noblet and with our four children (Beth, Lucy, Jessica and Thomas), farm in partnership with Max & Jenny Burrow at Whin Yeats Farm, Hutton Roof. Whin Yeats backs onto Farleton Knott in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and we milk around 80 pedigree Holstein Friesian cows, which graze on our meadows throughout the summer. Falling milk prices in late 2014 prompted us to look at ways to ensure the future sustainability of our family farm and cheese making has emerged as a way of adding value to the great milk we are proud to produce. We have just started the first batch of cheese in our new dairy, right next to the milking parlour on the farm so our milk will be piped straight into the dairy from the cows - natural, creamy and a very low carbon footprint!
Our first cheese & hampers will be available for sale in November (a great Christmas present!) and we also hope to sell our own raw milk and meat (lamb & pork) in the not-too-distant future, so let us know if you would be interested. Simply message us with your name & email address - we'll keep you posted on developments & in mid-November we'll announce the winner, who will also be invited to our grand opening ... including lots of free sampling! Please help spread the word by sharing our photos - you'll be put into a draw win a 'Day in the Life of a Cumbrian Farmer' - a day with us, experiencing life on the farm & going away with a hamper of our farm goodies!
