Who we are
About the farm
We are the Smales family's farm on the northern edge of the New Forest at Landford, straddling the River Blackwater: we have milked cows since 1952 and farmed Lyburn Farm since 1969, and today we farm about 500 acres (around 202 ha) with a pedigree dairy herd of around 170, as well as growing organic vegetables and pumpkins. We turn about half of our milk into cheese on the farm: using our own pasteurised cow's milk and vegetarian rennet, we hand-make our award-winning Gouda-style and Tomme-style cheeses (Lyburn Gold, Winchester, Old Winchester, Stoney Cross and more). We sell our cheeses in our farm shop, through our online shop with courier delivery, at farmers' markets and through stockists.

Write a review
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.
