Who we are

About the farm

Our cheese dairy and shop are on the Isle of Arran, about one mile north of Brodick, within the Home Farm Visitors Centre, on the footprint of the original dairy of the Home Farm that supplied Brodick Castle. The family business was founded in 1991, and since 2003 we, the Kinniburgh family, have run it; today we have 7 permanent employees, plus seasonal workers during busier periods. We make Arran cheddar, plain and flavoured (chilli, garlic, chive, whisky, oak smoked, herb, claret and mustard), and at our sister dairy, Bellevue Cheese Company, we produce our award-winning Arran Blue, Arran Mist (brie) and camembert. In our shop you can sample the cheese and watch the cheesemakers at work through a large viewing window; we also sell our cheese at many Scottish farmers' markets every month.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

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.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
