Who we are

About the farm

Our family has farmed at Ulceby Grange, near Alford on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, since 1917; we began dairying in 1970, and since 1992 we have been making Lincolnshire Poacher cheese by traditional methods from the raw (unpasteurised) milk of our own herd of 230 cows, typically maturing it for 18 months. We also make hand-patted butter from the cream recovered from the whey, grow most of our cows' feed ourselves, and generate more electricity from wind and solar power than we use. We do not sell from the farm gate: we offer our cheese, butter and raw milk at farmers' markets, deliver to your door from our online shop, and our products are also available from stockists.
