A bit about Dairy

We have several small cheese-makers at the markets, all making very different cheeses. Some of these are ‘straight’ and others have flavourings added. There are hard and soft goat’s and cow’s cheeses, sheep’s cheese and blue cheeses. The flavour of the cheese will vary according to the type of milk, what the animal ate and where the cheese was made.

All the eggs are free range, and range in size from quails to bantams, chickens, ducks to enormous goose eggs.
