Our new creamery starts life...
In early September, we heard that our planning application had been successful, and a couple of weeks later that we had been awarded a LEADER grant which is a European funding stream which will meet 40% of the project costs. So the dream could go ahead! Work started at the start of October with the groundworks, and we now have a concrete pad for the two converted shipping containers (which will become our cheese making and ageing rooms) to sit on.
The milk will exit the parlour and be piped directly into a vat.
Stay tuned for more updates! We are aiming to complete the project by Christmas so we can move all our equipment down ready to start making again in the new year. Watch this space...
