Who we are
About the farm
Our family has farmed at Moorhayes Farm near Wincanton, Somerset, since 1899, and as the fifth generation we still make Keen's Cheddar here. We keep 200 grass-fed milking cows on more than 400 acres (about 160 ha); their raw, unpasteurised milk travels just 50 yards to our own dairy, where we make traditional cheddar by hand within 12 hours of milking and then mature it on the farm for many months. We sell our cheese through our online shop with home delivery and directly from the farm (25 kg, 3 kg and 1.5 kg truckles or smaller wedges), and it is also stocked by delicatessens, specialist cheese shops, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Booths.

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.
