Who we are
About the farm
Our family dairy farm, Knockraich Farm, lies near Fintry in the Endrick Valley in Scotland, between the Trossachs and the Campsie Fells; it has belonged to the Rodger family since 1955. Our closed herd of around 60 British Friesian cows were all born here, and we graze them outdoors for most of the year. Since 2009 we have turned their whole, un-homogenised milk into small batches of live yogurt, Crowdie fresh cheese, butter, crème fraîche, buttermilk and ice cream in our own processing dairy, Katy Rodger's Artisan Dairy. We sell our products, vegetables from our kitchen garden and cider made from our own orchard apples in our farm shop and The Courtyard Café, open seven days a week, which also has a milk refill station; we also let two holiday apartments on the farm.

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.
