Why did you become a Cheese maker? We became cheesemakers when my Grandfather (maternal) bought the estate in 1911. Cheese making was already happening here when he bought it, as it was on almost all farms in Somerset producing more than a households worth of milk. To say that we have simply carried on since then is too simple. All farmhouse cheddar production was banned during the Second World War so a decision had to be made to restart, in a new era when the milk could be sold easily. Luckily Grandfather enjoyed the challenges of making cheese. For you
