Our farm lies in the heart of the cheddar making region in Somerset where our family have farmed for generations. The climate is gentle and mild, where the warm, moist air blows in from the sea, bringing warmth in the Summer and rain in the Winter. Fertile soil provides rich, green pasture for our dairy cows. The climate provides the best conditions found anywhere in the world for dairy farming.

Our family are passionate about farming and today care for 1,500 acres of beautiful Somerset countryside where our herd of 1,000 dairy cows graze and thrive on a grass rich diet. Many of our cows have family bloodlines that stretch back for generations.

To produce our cheese, we use the milk from our own herds and those of other local family-run farms, the majority of which are within a 50-mile radius of the dairy at Wyke Champflower. All our farms operate to the highest standards of care for their land and herds in accordance with the Red Tractor Assurance scheme.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do and through our Wyke Farms ‘Net Positive Farming’ Pillar Farmer Programme we are driving environmental best practice and improvements in key areas on our farms including feed management, soil and land management, manure management and energy management. Working with our farmers we are co-funding energy management surveys with improvement plans.
