Join us for a unique behind the scenes cheese experience. We'll show you from the ground up how we craft our cheese.
Tickets cost £45 per person and include lunch.
About this event:
There's a lot to pack into your visit to Home Farm...
-Welcome talk and hear the intriguing history of the Quicke family.
-Step into our Dairy Viewing Room and learn how our cheesemakers expertly craft each truckle by hand.
-Whilst in the Dairy Viewing room there will be a tutored cheese tasting, where you'll enjoy the complexity and diversity of the Quicke's range.
-Whizz around our cheese stores and see how we age our clothbound cheddar, learn about our unique mould garden and the traditional skill of grading cheese.
-Hear from one of our Farm Team about how our cows are so special and see our milking parlour.
-Pop to the Quicke's Cheese Shop to do some shopping and pick up a free tote bag.
-After all that exploring and adventuring you'll be ready for lunch. The Beer Engine (a short drive down the road from our farm) will be serving up a seasonal two-course lunch, featuring Quicke’s cheese (the lunch is included in the price of the tour).
Please note due to scheduling, it is not always possible to see the cheesemaking.
Important information to read before booking:
Home Farm is a working farm so there are a few things we’d like to remind you of before you book.
The route around the farm is likely to be muddy and uneven, so please bring appropriate footwear such as wellies or walking boots.
With our changeable British weather, it’s also sensible to bring waterproofs and extra layers.
Please note that the cheese stores stay cool even in the summer, so you might want an extra layer in there too.
Unfortunately, dogs are not invited on the tour.
Children over the age of 12 are welcome (with tickets), but please bear in mind that they need to be able to complete the farm walk.
The route is not suitable for wheelchairs.
