Who we are
About the farm
On our family dairy farm at Leonard Stanley near Stroud in the Cotswolds we hand-make artisan cheeses from the milk of our own herd of cows; our family has farmed here for over 200 years. We started making cheese in 2001, when milk prices were too low to make a profit; Liz Godsell has since become a Master Cheesemaker and heads the team with her husband Bryan and their daughters Lilly and Lucy. Alongside traditional Single and Double Gloucester we make flavoured and smoked cheeses. Our 24-hour vending machine at the Church Farm gate offers 10 of our cheeses and farm-fresh milk; we also sell our cheeses at Stroud Farmers' Market, by post and through many local shops.

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.
