Why is organic farming good for biodiversity? 🌱

Because organic farming is about working with nature, rather than separately from it.

By severely restricting the use of pesticides and avoiding manufactured nitrogen fertilisers, while building healthy soils and protecting natural habitats, organic farming creates more opportunities for wildlife to flourish, above and below ground.

That means supporting the insects, earthworms and microorganisms in our soils, as well as the bees, butterflies, birds and other wildlife that make our countryside their home.

In fact, research shows that organic farms support around 30% more biodiversity on average than non-organic farms.

The organic milk we use at Nettlebed Creamery comes from our family farm, merrimoles_farm. For us, organic isn’t simply about the milk that goes into our cheese. It’s part of a bigger picture: caring for the cows, the soil, the surrounding countryside and the ecosystems that depend upon it.

Good farming starts with looking after the land for future generations to enjoy 💚.

It might not be the first thing you think about when you tuck into a piece of cheese, but fermentation is fundamental to cheesemaking.

It begins when beneficial bacteria get to work on the lactose naturally present in milk, converting it into lactic acid. As the acidity changes, it helps shape the curd and influences the texture of the cheese.

And that’s only the beginning.

During making and maturation, a whole microscopic world of bacteria, yeasts and moulds can play a part in developing the flavours, aromas, textures and rinds that give different cheeses their individual character.

At Nettlebed Creamery, understanding and working with these processes is all part of transforming our organic milk into the cheeses we know and love.

A little milk, microbiology and time can do rather wonderful things.

As the sun rises across the fields, these happy cows are already out grazing and making the most of the autumn pasture 🍂🐄.

For us, scenes like this are about much more than a beautiful view. They’re about the cows grazing outdoors freely and the dedicated team at merrimoles_farm behind them that look after them so well.

This is what makes our organic milk so special.

From field to milk, and milk to cheese 🧀.
