Our Story
We are Fraser Norton and Rachel Yarrow and we decided that we wanted to become cheese makers in August 2014. This came after a chance reading of an article about a goats' cheese maker in an old copy of 'Woman and Home' magazine left behind in a villa we stayed in on holiday in Sicily. Rachel had been an English teacher for ten years, while Fraser had worked in project management for twenty years, but both of us were looking for a new challenge to inspire us.
We applied to become tenants of Earth Trust Farm in Oxfordshire in 2015, as part of their 'Farm Step' programme which helped to give start-up farming businesses the opportunity to access land and farm buildings.
After nearly ten years at Earth Trust, in January 2025 we moved to our own larger farm, Pencrug, in Carmarthenshire (Wales) to continue our farming journey. This has brought us back to a farm Rachel's parents lived and worked in on the 1970s, and where Rachel's brother Thomas was born.
We are looking forward to developing a new cheese and developing our sustainable farming practice!
