Who we are
About the farm
Since 2014 we (Marcus Fergusson and Penny Nagle) have farmed our 22-acre (about 9 ha) organic farm, certified by the Soil Association, in the north of Somerset's Blackmore Vale near Templecombe. From local cow's milk we make five award-winning organic cheeses to our own recipes (Renegade Monk, Rebel Nun, Gert Lush, La Fresca Margarita, Lucky Marcel); our rare-breed Iron Age pigs eat the whey, and we also keep sheep and poultry. We sell our cheese through our online shop with postal delivery and subscriptions, at London farmers' markets, in local farm shops and via wholesalers, and on the farm we also offer lamb, pork, eggs, seasonal vegetables and jams. Our two self-catering holiday lets are available all year, and we host WWOOF volunteers.

Write a review
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.
