National

Dairy
Produce:
Leagram
Organic Dairy- Organic cheeses,
buffalo and sheeps cheeses.
(Orton farmers market only)
Bob Kitching is a one man wonder. Because he makes all his cheeses
by hand in small batches, and isn't tied to large scale production,
he can respond to all sorts of strange requests from customers.
Just ask him about the time he made a chocolate cheese to order
! If you don't fancy that - he has plenty of other wonderful cheeses
to try. Occasionally, we also persuade Bob to demonstrate the art
of cheesemaking at Orton farmers market. |
Cream
of Cumbria - Fresh cream, butter
and buttermilk.
A chance remark by a cookery demonstrator about a desperate need
for a butter producer in Cumbria made Sue Forrester decide to become
that person. She sources pasteurised cream from a local dairy herd.
The butter is churned and shaped individually using "scotch hands" and
the butter marks are the same as those used by Sue's grandparents
80 years ago. Sue aims to produce top quality butter incorporating
old skills and with full traceability. She also uses the butter
and buttermilk in scones , tea breads and traditional Cumberland
rum and brandy butters - all of which are on sale at Orton and
pooley Bridge farmers market every month. Tel 01228 675558 |
