Who we are
About the farm
We have been making our cheeses at Queen Bower Dairy near Sandown on the Isle of Wight since October 2006, and in November 2017 we bought the dairy; our aim is to make small-scale, handmade cheeses for the island. We collect the milk ourselves two to three times a week from Crocker's Farm in Newport, where the Bradley family keep a Holstein Friesian herd. We make soft white-mould and blue-veined cheeses and a Cheddar-style hard cheese and have won many awards; our cheeses are sold in many shops on the island and the mainland, at farmers' markets and from our shop window at the dairy, and we have been SALSA accredited since 2013.

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.
