Who we are
About the farm
We have farmed at Hunts Court in Dymock, Gloucestershire, since 1972: we make Single and Double Gloucester cheese from the milk of the rare, ancient Old Gloucester cattle, and our cheeses include Stinking Bishop. On about half of our 30-acre (approx. 12 ha) farm we tend traditional orchards holding a gene bank of old Gloucestershire apple, pear and plum varieties, and we also keep Jubilee Game fowl and West of England geese. Since 2010 we have distilled spirits from fermented fruit, cider and perry in the farm's 17th-century distilling house. We sell our cheese mainly through the wholesale trade, and a selection of cheeses and our spirits are also available in our online shop.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
